HI Mark
I can dot download historical prices with yahoo.

Using FM 2016 Professional Module 517-223

If I retrieve one single/all security historical price I get GETTING CRUMB instead of the ticker and then WinINET error code: 12156 and no price is downloaded.

can you please help?
Thanks

Hi Andrea,

Please download the latest version, 2016.14.14. After installing this, do a "Help / FM on the Web / Check For Updates...". When done you should have 2016.14.14 with quote module 517. This should resolve this issue.

Great, it works now.

But now I can not download FX price using WSJ. both spot and historical? have they changed any settings/ticker? it used to work. thanks

Hi alciati,

I see the same problem with WSJ. The site isn't downloading quotes as it used to. It doesn't work with a web browser either, so we will need to wait and see if WSJ fixes this.

Hi Mark,

I am getting the same error as well trying to pull historical information from Yahoo (Yahoo (Historical)). Could it have anything to do with the merger with Verizon?

Installed
Main Program: 2016.14.14.100
Quote Module: 517
Transaction Module: 224

Thanks,

Hi Jason,

Which error exactly? The "GETTING CRUMB" status is normal. If you're getting 12156, then check to make sure cookies are enabled in Internet Explorer on your system.

You are correct. I saw the getting CRUMB in the status but the error was 12156. That fixed it. I think something changed at Yahoo recently as I had not accepted cookies before and it has been working.

Thanks again for an excellent product!

Hi Jason,

You are right, the requirements for cookies with Yahoo is a fairly recent change.
