Thanks for such a quick reply
1. Yes. I saved it to my desktop where it put an icon to have easy access. I just double click it. I think I see what I did wrong. I did not realize that it would create other files on my desktop, as opposed to storing it in the program. I move them to the recycle bin as I don't leave files on my desktop that I do not recognize. I think I fixed it by restoring them.
2. Yes. There are quite a few brokerages where you can purchase partial shares. I happen to own, for example, 49.36 shares of CSCO.
3. Sorry. I should have said commission. Many people buy from multiple brokerages causing different commissions. I also buy baskets of stocks from Motif which causes the $9.95 commission to be broken up unevenly over the basket of stocks.
4. Thanks

1. Notice that Stock.Div stores its data files in the same folder where you run the executable so when running the program, the data files should be there as well. Just for testing: enter a new purchase and go to the folder, do you see purchasehistory.xml? When the purchases vanished, do you run the program from somewhere else/shortcut?
2. I admit that I didn't know partial shares are possible. If I understand you correctly, it simply means that instead of purchasing 2 shares, you purchase 2.45/2.5? I ask so I will add support for that.
3. Not sure I understood. When opening the stock window, you can either enter the share price or the total price and Stock.Div will calculate the other part. You can then re-open the stock's window and change it as you wish, even past purchases. What's missing?
4. I just checked and apparently there is a bug there - I will fix it for 1.2.1 that will be released soon
If you have more questions or problems, don't hesitate to share
