Is there a way to adjust the numbers to the right of the decimal place. I'm trying to enter stock transactions and I'm limited to four decimal places to the right of the decimal point. Some stock transactions (buys and sales) can use as many as six. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance

Just type them in, they'll be captured [though not displayed]

I don't think they are carptured.
Quicken Windows allows 5 decimal places. Mac only allows 4 unfortunately. This has been a problem for years. (Particularly with bonds, and I suspect mutual funds.)
When I enter securities I try to get the cost and number of shares correct, and hack the price per share to fit. Sometimes I have enter a rounding error transaction to get the account to match.
With bonds if you set the price at say 100 times the true reported price and then enter 100th of the number of bonds you can get around the share price decimal limit. This is a hack that works and I don't particularly care how many bonds I have. I care how much they are worth.
Hope this helps, and for crying out loud Intuit why are we limited to 4 decimal places after all these years?
