PS:
FM does make a record of the update attempt, but the NAV always reports the same: 29.62, which was my initial NAV. Yahoo actually reports 29.88 as of last nite 6/21/99.
James : : I have 5 funds and 2 stocks in my portfolio. When I try to update via Yahoo,
: : 2 of the funds do not update. I know all the settings are correct, having checked them at least three times (each item is marked for Internet update), and I have gone to Yahoo and gotten current prices on the missing funds. : : Any idea what is wrong? : : Thanks
: : James : : PS Terrific program! : Hi James,
: Some common places to check: : 1) That you have the symbol recorded correctly, as desired on the quote
: server you are requesting quotes from (Yahoo, in this case it sounds like). : 2) That the price is really getting updated, but you are looking at a graph
: that has the end date fixed, rather than floating. You can revert a graph's
: date range with "Veiw/Dates...", or some of the keyboard shortcuts, such as 'x'.
: Use "Edit/All Data..." with the "Prices" data type selected, and sorting
: the data by "Date" to look at what prices are actually recorded. : 3) The third place you have already checked, which is to make
: sure the investment properties for each investment are set to retrieve
: prices for that investment. : 4) Mutual funds do not have their prices changed during the middle of the
: day, they only change once, usually in the evening. FM updates the price
: for funds on the date specified by Yahoo, so if you are retrieving during
: the middle of the day on 6/22, you are going to get the price for 6/21. You
: can see this by visiting Yahoo with your browser and looking up a fund, and
: noting what date the quote is specified for. : If none of these fixes the problem please let us know which symbols are
: not updating, and we can give it a try. : Thanks,
: Mark
