SYMPTOMS
When you try to sell an investment in Microsoft Money, you receive an error message that is similar to one of the
following:
Adding this Sell or Remove
Shares activity will cause the balance of shares of Investment
Name held in this Investment Account to become negative at some
point. Please arrange your transactions to avoid this.
You have entered more of Investment
Name to renew or redeem than you have in this account.
You are selling or removing more shares of
Investment Name than this Investment Account
contains. There are Number shares available for sale
or removal on the date you entered. Would you like to change this Sell or
Remove Shares to use that quantity?
You
have entered more shares of Investment Name to sell
or remove than you have in this account. You have
Number shares available on the date of this
transaction. Would you like to sell or remove The Same Number As

You have entered more of Investment Name to renew or redeem than you have in this account.
You have entered more shares of Investment Name to sell or remove than you have in this account. You have Number shares available on the date of this transaction. Would you like to sell or remove The Same Number As Before shares?
CAUSE
This issue is probably caused by rounding errors. If you
have fractional shares, Money rounds to the fifth decimal place when displaying
your portfolio.
For example, if you really have 42.111116 shares,
Money shows that you have 42.12346 shares. If you try to sell 42.111112 shares,
you receive one of the error messages that are mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
MORE INFORMATION
You receive the first two error messages when you enter a Sell
transaction into an account that does not currently contain any part of that
particular investment. You receive the second two error messages if you try to sell
more shares than you currently own.
