Return on Investment
I would like to be able to see all the money I contributed to a particular investment account - exclude dividends, and capital gains... That way I could see if I had made or lost money.

JP, Generating either the "cost basis" or the "capital gains" reports should both give you that information. Brian Moneydance Support

Mr. Adler-
Thanks for the suggestions, those reports do help.
The Cost Basis gives me the information I want, but it also includes re-invested dividends. The re-invested dividends are not really money I contributed - they are part of my return.
Is there any way to count re-invested dividends as part of the ROI or to remove the dividends from the cost basis report?

JP, re-invested dividends should be included when considering Cost Basis. I found several references on the internet just to be sure. Please refer to this article: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/costbasis.asp Not including re-invested dividends unnecessarily increases your tax burden.
