SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to Money 2001 or later, you may not be able to open the Portfolio page from the Money Investing Center.

In Money 2002 and later, when you click Portfolio, the screen may flash, and you may not be able to view the Investing view from the Home page.

In Money 2001, when you click Portfolio, the screen may flash, and then return you to the Investing Center page.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if an Investment account is damaged or contains data that is not valid.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, replace the damaged account with a new account. To do this, use the following methods in the order in which they are presented.

Note Before you follow these steps, make a backup of your data file. To do this, click Back Up on the File menu.

Find Damaged Investment Accounts
To find damaged investment accounts:  On the Money navigation bar, click Investing Center on the Investing menu. On the Investing Center menu, click Accounts. Under Change View in the left pane, click Sort account list by, and then click to clear the Hide closed accounts check box. Right-click an open account, and then click Account is Closed. If the following message appears, click No:

There are some open positions in the account you are about to close or delete. Are you transferring this account to another investment account?

 Repeat step 4 for each open account. Click Portfolio. You receive the message, &quot;You currently do not have any investment accounts&quot; or the Portfolio page appears.</li> On the Investing Center menu, click Accounts.</li> Right-click one of the accounts that you closed in step 4, and then click Account is Open.</li> Click Portfolio.

If the Portfolio page and the account appear, that account is not damaged.

If the page flashes and returns you to the Accounts page, that account is damaged. Close that account again.</li> Repeat steps 8 and 9 for each account until you find and close all of the damaged accounts.</li></ol>
