Advance portfolio

[Roy Hammerstrøm]

In "price source" I did try them both to see if that helped, but as far as
I can tell, it didn't.
Can it maybe be something that I've done, or should have done to connect
the price list database and the shares?
Or should that not matter?
It looks weird that the report don't take the prices from the database.
I've tried to look at all the options I could find to see if that had
anything to do with it. When I go "accounts" and then click on the "edit"
button to change the share, one of the thing there is "smallest
subdivision" (or what it is called in English, the one where you select
"use product value", "1/10", "1/100", "1/1000" etc), what is the best one
to select there?

I just had at the "investment portfolio" report and in that one, it looks
like the report uses the correct numbers.
In fact, I just did double check the numbers in the investment portfolio,
and the total value for each share is correct.
And the total value for all my shares according to the investment
portfolio, is the same as it is in the advanced portfolio.
So I also did check the total value for my share when I bought them, and
that amount is also correct in the advanced portfolio.
So it then looks like the buying price and value in the advance portfolio
is correct, but not the price.
Therefore, since so much is correct, with the exception of the price, I
wonder how much more we should put in to this.
