: : Is there a way to specify a password with the command line mode? I'm trying to use Windows Task Scheduler to auto-update my portfolio, but all my investments are password protected. I have tried everything I can think of to pass this to FundManager, but have had no success.

: The solution for now is to un-password protect
: your investments you wish to auto-update.

Dave,

I'm using Launch Pad (www.cypressnet.com) as a scheduler together with the /I/Q commandline switches. Launch Pad has the ability to send a 'key' to
open the P/W protection. Works fine except that FM is fully visable, and accessable during the update. Its only open for a couple of min though!
