: Before I register and buy Fund Manger I would appreciate some help on displaying mutual fund historical data.

: I entered by hand initial mutual fund transaction data for 29 Dec. 2000. After successfully updating via th eInternet for 22 Jan 2001 daily data I see just a line running from bottom left to upper right, or vice versa, between the two dates on each chart. Importing historical data does not result in the historical data for intervening dates being displayed on the charts.

: Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi William,
Are these US mutual funds? If so, you can use the "Yahoo (Historical)"
quote server. This is the easiest way to get historical data. Just go
under "Options/Internet Settings..." and select "Yahoo (Historical)" as your
quote server. Then, do an internet retrieve by clicking on the toolbar button
or choosing "Edit/Update Price/Retrieve - Internet". You will be prompted for
a date range to update. Once you click okay, all your investments will be
updated for this date range.

You will want to make sure you have all the correct symbols recorded for
your investments before doing the retrieve. If the daily retrieve has already
worked once for you, it sounds like you are all set.

Also, if you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to walk
through our tutorial at:

http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/tutor.html

It will walk you through retrieving historical prices and explain many of
the basics in using Fund Manager. It is the fastest way to get started
using the program.

Thanks,
Mark
