Hi Mark,
That doesn't seem to be my problem. I've got the "investment" in a portfolio I call "Indices" along with others. When I update the numbers from the Internet each morning, getting only the previous day's figures, the NASDAQ 100 is the only one that Yahoo skips. Could it be that they discontinued supplying that particular quote? That would seem the only logical conclusion but I'm not certain how to check that out with Yahoo.
Thanks again.
Wyatt
