: Hi Again Mark,

: OK. Thanks. I guess this means I need to change all my stock codes to include the .ax. Is that right? Are there any shortcuts?

: BTW: I had trouble finding my post or your response initially. I had to do a ctrlF5 to force a refresh.

: Tahnks again.

: Richard.

: : : 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

: : : Richard.

: : 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,

Hi Richard,

Yes, that is correct, they would all need to have the .AX added, or you could
just change the ones that don't update at ASX, and retrieve twice...

Thanks,
Mark
