You asked the same question yesterday and Jim Thomas replied. Unfortunately you do have to go back and find each of the transaction dates and enter them separately. I'm sure they're on your broker statements. As you state, you have the dividend date and the dividends were reinvested. The dividend date is the purchase date.

 

Alternatively, you can contact bivio support and see what they can do for you. There is no easy way out here.

I am writing for assistance regarding a problem with the
switch over I am trying to complete.  IOur club has been in
existence for over 10 years and have been using CA3.  I was
hoping to be able to upload our club records but was unable
to do so.  After many tries, and even using the
suggestion posted in the Club Cafe I finally gave up and
started entering all of the data using a swithchover date of
1/1/07.  The problem I have encountered is that I am not
able to add stock shares accumulated over time as part of
reinvested dividends.  These were not purchased as a block
and have no date associated with them on our broker
statements.  They are only recorded on the statement as part
of the detail at the time the dividend occured and on all
statements after that are lumped into a category identified
as "reinvetments to date." I continually get an error
message if I try to enter them with out a date and short of
going through all of the previous statemenst (for a number
of years) I am at a loss as to how to resolve this.  In
bivio our records don't show an accurate number of shares
and I can't record any sales for the past year involving any
stocks that have accumulated reinvested dividend shares.
Has anyone else encountered this and is there a way to
resolve this?  Thanks for any help you can
offer............Barb in WI
