: : : Mark,

: Mark, I tried your procedure outlined in the e-mail to Jerry but it did not work. The 'csv' file downloaded looks like this:

: JAVLX,34.44,0.43,+1.26%,---,---,---
: SWBDX,10.22,0.03,+0.29%,---,---,---
: VFIIX,10.51,0.01,+0.1%,---,---,---
: VFINX,99.30,1.14,+1.16%,---,---,---
: WEIBX,11.16,0.04,+0.36%,---,---,---

: When I import using SYMB,NAV,XX,XX,VV,HH,LL I get an error message.
: 'import format does not match import file.' 'could not update'.
: What are the three blank fields and how should I describe them? What changes do I need to make?

Hi Phil,

For importing from mutual funds they don't have a volume, high, or low, so you would use the format string:

SYMB,NAV,XX

Have you tried the internet retrieve feature? It makes updating prices much easier. Just go online, and
then from within Fund Manager choose "Edit/Internet Retrieve/Prices".

Thanks,
Mark
