Thank you!  I knew that was there but made no changes to it.  In past versions you could override it by inserting your own decimal points.  I turned it off....and everything is good.  Thank you again!

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:
