Today I have been trying to enter additional buys over the past two months and the software is adding a decimal to my shares (no matter how I enter) calculating the correct price, but since it changes the share decimal, it calculates the wrong total and share balance.  I have tried it every possible way and no matter what...the software changes the share decimal incorrectly and gives me an incorrect entry.  Here is a screen shot:

No matter which variable I leave off I get this result and if I enter all three I get the error that the math is wrong, which variable would I like to have calculated.  Errrrrr....please help!

Sounds like you have automatic decimal turned on in Preferences>General. If you have the default 2 places then 100 turns into 1.00.
