: Hello,

: I'm still in the process of evaluating FM and I have 2 questions:

: 1) I'm trying to import historical data in FM via the import/prices/generic command and I keep getting the following error: "one or more fields were not specified".

: My original data is in the format;
: TICKER,NAME,DTYYMMDD,HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOL,OPEN
: UCB,UCB,20000623,37.16,36.75,37.02,49429,36.85

: And I'm using the following import string:
: SYMB,XX,ED,HH,LL,XX,VV,XX

: What am i doing wrong?

: 2) Does anybody know where to get the datas for Belgian stocks now that European Investor is "down" ?

: Thanks for your help,

: Anne

Hi Anne,
One of the required fields is "NAV", so your import string should be:

SYMB,XX,ED,HH,LL,NAV,VV,XX

I don't think Belgian stocks are available on any of the currently available
quote servers. We may be able to add a new server in the future that
adds this exchange.

Thanks,
Mark
