Hi Alan,

You control the default server under "Options / Internet Settings...". What exact quote server and symbol combination are you using that won't update?

Hi Alan,

You can get exchange rates from either Quandl or Yahoo. Whichever one you choose you will need to use their symbol. Visit that server's site with your browser, and look up the symbol. We will be updating our FAQ soon for this. If you just need current exchange rates, try Yahoo. If you want to get historical exchange rates, use Quandl.

Is yahoo working Also would you advise setting the default to yahoo from now on?

Quite a lot of work Pity about bloomberg

Is it worth then upgradint to higher version to get live quotes from yahoo?

thanks

Hi Alan,

Yahoo (Historical) is not working at the moment, but Yahoo is. We are working on fixing this. See: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3926

If you want current exchange rates, use Yahoo. If you want historical exchange rates, use Quandl (Historical).
