Quote servers - retrieving problem

Thanks Nebfin

Hi Nebfin,

Unfortunately there's not a real easy way. That error message should be improved. You can create a "Custom" report, and add these fields:

Quote server
Retrieve price
Latest price date

List the report by "Investment" and sort it by "Quote server". Looking through this report you can see which quote server didn't have a recent price update. You can ignore investments where the price is not being retrieved.

Mark here is an improvement to your suggestion. Many times for some securities the retrieving never worked at all (at the moment I don't know why...) - . I add an "Acquired start(end)" field to your suggested Custom report (which I memorized):

Quote server
Retrieve price
Acquired start(end)
Latest price date

List the report by "Investment" and sort it by "Last price". Looking through this report you can see where the field "Acquired start" = "Last price" If the date equals each other then the retrieving doesn't work!

Now to find why???
