Question on Split Transaction stock/fund purchases

[Edward Doolittle]

That hasn't happened to me, but I'll take a stab in the dark ...

- Have you done all the set up described in section 8.4 of the manual? It
takes a while but you only have to do it once for each equity.
- Stock and mutual fund aren't the same thing as far as GnuCash is
concerned ... they are different account types. You should make sure that
the account type is correct, and matches the type of security as set up in
the security editor. Tools -> Security Editor
- Is (correct) price data for the security in place in the price editor?
Tools -> Price Editor
