: Hi Mark,
: I usually update prices on my investments once a week on
: Fridays after market close. April 21st was a holiday, so when
: I updated prices, some of my investments got updated with a price
: from thursday, April 20th. When I tried to go into Edit/Prices
: and correct the date from 20th to 21st, I see that the date
: field is not editable. Is there any way to correct this problem
: other than by reentering the same price data manually for the 21st
: and then deleting the price data for the 20th? BTW, the date
: comes in as 20th when I did an internet price retrieve. I did the
: update only on the 21st, but FM seems to insert the date associated
: with the last available price in the date column. : Also, when I pay margin interest, I put it in as negative
: dividends/interest mainly because the distribution screen does not
: have a category called margin interest. I think it may be a useful
: addition though I can manage without it right now. Maybe you can
: look into this for your next release. : Thanks. : Balaji Ramanathan Hi Balaji,
Yout cannot edit the date of a price, you would have to record new ones
for the 20th. Some quote servers return the date of the quote, and some
don't. When they don't, FM uses the "default date", which you can control.
By default it is your computer's current date when you do the retrieve.
You can read up on which servers provide the date, and which will use the
default date at: http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/intrtv.html Thanks for the suggestion on margin interest, that would be a good new
distribution category. Thanks,
Mark
