I tried to add a security. Went through the steps. Security shows up in the Securities list, but when I try to add it to an account, it does not show up as an option. I tried adding it again, and now it shows up in the Securities list twice, but I still can't add it to the account. Now I can't delete either entry because it says they are both being used in the account I'm trying to add them to. HELP!!!

    Hmm.
    You did this right? Investment account. Security details tab. Actions. Add security? And now when you enter a txn for BUY of that security, it does
    Not show you the security in the list?

    Run toolbox extension, securities menu. There is a find where used option. Can you run that? Also in the transactions menu, there is an option to diagnose non heirarchical txns. Can you run that too?

    Good morning, Stuart. I have the latest version - 2024.4.  When I try to open the toolbox, I get this error message:

    You’re not helping me help you.

    Which account name are you trying to add the security to?

    What security are you trying to add?

    What did toolbox specifically say about that security and account?

    And please answer my question from post 1:
    “Have you gone to the Investment account. Security details tab. Actions. Add security? And now when you enter a txn for BUY of that security, it does not show you the security in the list?”

    Good morning, Stuart.  I think I'm trying to solve too many issues at once, so I'll start over with just one: In my Securities list, I have 3 with $0 and no information.  When hit the “-“ key, I get the following message: “Are you sure you’d like to delete?” When I hit the “Yes” key, I get the following message: “Cannot remove security that is being used: From Account ‘IRA S’ E*Trade’”  When I open that account and go to Portfolio View, the only accounts that show are the ones with identifiers and $ amounts.  Thank you for your patience and consideration.

    So. The portfolio view is irrelevant. It depends if there are any transactions for that security in the ‘IRA S’ E*Trade’” account? Even if you buy 10, then sell 10 =zero, you can never remove that security.

    Does that clarify that point?

    I'll see if I can find the transactions. Thanks.
