: : I'm trialing FundManager with UK Stocks. Yahoo expresses UK Stock Prices in pence, so 246 = £2.46 but it appears FundManager is expecting 2.46 - am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for such a prompt response Mark.

Before your reply I'd worked round by using the currency exchange to divide the all £ currency by 100 and input any data as pence. It would be more elegant to collect from Yahoo UK as you suggest but I still need to collect historical data which would also need converting. Would this be a case of altering the registry entry for Yahoo History to match Yahoo UK collection?

Regards, Bob

PS a really good piece of software by the way.
