: : : My Fund Manager version is 4.7
: : : It's working fine until I download and install the Inteng.dll ver.334
: : : I retrieve price update through Yahoo Adjusted Historical Server. But I only got the close where high, low and volume were missing. I have checked the Yahoo historical price database web site which seem perfect with no error. My portfolio included major U.S. index and stock like ^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC, MSFT, CSCO, ORCL, INTC, DELL, IBM. : : Hi Jerry, : : This is how this server is supposed to work. The only "adjusted" price
: : Yahoo provides is the "close". The high, low, open, and volume are not
: : adjusted for splits/dividends. So, when using the Yahoo (Adjusted Historical)
: : server you will only get the closing prices. If you want all the fields
: : updated, you can use the Yahoo (Historical) server instead. The reason for
: : this update was the format changed, and the Adjusted server was actually
: : updating with non-adjusted prices. Please let me know if you still have
: : any questions on this. : : Thanks,

: : : Hi Mark, : Thanks for your reply. I got what you mean.
: But why I didn't have this problem before I update to Inteng.dll ver.334?
: I get close, high, low and volume at that time. : Jerry. Hi Jerry, Prior to 334 the Adjusted historical server was incorrectly updating
all of the fields with the non-adjusted prices. Essentially, it was
updating with the values you would get by using the Yahoo (Historical) server.
It may have appeared like it was working properly, but none of the
values were being adjusted for distributions or splits, like advertised for
that server. Thanks,
Mark
