: : : How can the automatic retrieval be set up for once a day at a specified time?

: : Hi Gary,

: : You can do this a couple of ways...

: : 1) Leave FM running, and set the automatic retrieve frequency to 1440 minutes.

: : 2) Set up a scheduled task in Windows.
: : (Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Scheduled Tasks)
: : Use Fund Manager's command line arguments to have it retrieve prices at
: : a certain time of day. This method is better, as you can use it to update
: : multiple portfolios if you'd like. Search the online help for "command line
: : arguments". An example command line would be:

: : "C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\fm.exe "C:\Data\FINANCE\MY_DATA\all.mm4" /I /Q

: Okay - managed to get task scheduler working okay - however I have a password on my investments. Can I work this into command line so that there is no user intervention? If so - how do I implement. Thanks for your help! ;-)

Hi Gary,

Sorry, there is not a feature to add your password from the command line...
I'm not sure the best way to deal with this. You really wouldn't
want to store your password on a command line in a scheduled task either.
That isn't a very safe place for your password. I'll have to give it a little
thought. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Thanks,
Mark
