Money 11.0 (International)

After updating my stock prices by download today, the average cost
calculations in the portfolio view have increased (almost ten fold). I've
checked the investment records and they remain correct.

One example of the stock is MSFT, which I've bought, sold and held over ten
years. My average cost should be around $26.00. It's now showing $229!

Anyone having the same problem, or can suggest a solution?

Thanks.

Try opening Money with Start->Run and entering
"msmoney -s" without the quotes into the box.

If that does not fix it, look through the transactions for any
anomalies.

Thanks. That didn't work.

All the transactions are the same as they were the previous day when the
averge was fine.

There is a problem with the EUR/USD rate. It was showing as 14.9,
instead of 1.49. Change it in the options, and everything will go back
to normal.
