John, Thank you. I am more interested in using "Combine the sale and capital gain in one transaction" as in 9.7.1.1. not the Captial 11. After I entered the negative share and the selling price, I tapped 'split.' My account register did not match the example's in 9.7.1.1. I must have done something wrong. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated. Heide
