hello,
I can not retieve "any" prices from internet. even with cusip or isin code, from yahoo or elsewhere. when i click on the function, prices are not updated. I have tryied with basic stocks like IBM, MICROSOFT , ... to check. Then it does not work with me.
cheers

Hi oliv928,

Only the "Symbol" property is used for retrieving prices. The CUSIP does not matter. You must record the symbol the same as it is on the quote server you're using. For more detailed tips, please read:

Let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem.

Hi oliv928,

You can only 'retrieve' prices that are available on any of our supported quote servers. Some servers use codes that may not be a ticker symbol, but you still record these as the 'symbol' in Fund Manager in order to retrieve from them. As long as the server has the quote you need, you can retrieve it. Just visit the quote server with your web browser, and look up the security you need, and find the symbol they use.

perhaps semi-automatic approach would be easier in this case:

friday price was 204.xx euros ... just type it directly into your FM ... takes seconds.

Hi oliv928,

You can retrieve this from "Yahoo - France" by using the symbol:

FR0007076930EUR

To figure this out, I used my web browser, and went to Yahoo - France, and looked it up. You can find links to all of the quote servers by going here:

hi Mark,

Should I fill "FR0007076930EUR" in the symbol field or in the ISIN code field ?

thanx a lot

Hi oliv928,

You would fill in the 'symbol' field. The price retrieve always uses the symbol.
