: Hi Mark

: I am a registered user of FM 4.7.332 with internet retrieve dll version 332. As I understand this is the latest internet retrieve DLL. The basic function works OK - but the ASX distinguish between various types of security - and it seems to not work for some types. If you go to www.asx.com.au and retrieve the following pair of securities I think you will see what I mean:
: BHP HYFHB
: Bhp is a normal stock whereas HYFHB is a fixed interest security. ASX gives both prices - but FM doesn't seem to pick up the latter.

: I realise that FM4 is not exactly the latest version - but I have only just seen this problem. Any thoughts on a solution?

: Thanks Mark

Hi Richard,

Yes, Fund Manager doesn't retrieve prices of "Interest Rate Securities"
from the Australian Stock Exchange server. You can however retrieve them
from the Yahoo ASX & NZ server. For the example you used, you would use
the symbol: HYFHB.AX

Thanks,
Mark
