: : : Hi Mark, got a new computer with XP Prof. Loaded FM 6.7 and copied all data to the new My_Data folder.
: : : I update prices on 36 stocks from AOL 9.0 each day using their TAB Delimited file download from my AOL portfolio.
: : : The first 3 stocks CD, CMGI, and COMS will not update since I got the new machine. I can enter the prices manually in FM and it does update. I have tried the following:
: : : ** Checked the AOL portfolio download file for any changes.
: : : ** Checked the dat files attributes.
: : : ** removed the dat files from the FM portfolio then removed the files from the machine. Empted the "Most Recent Folder" and rebooted. Created new investments with the same symbols and made sure they were in the correct path.

: : : Still won't update those 3 stocks.
: : : Other new investments were added to the FM portfolio and they update just fine.
: : : Any ideas??

: : : Thanks, John

: : : I don't know what to make of the following. I must have done something wrong when I installed FM.

: : : FM is loaded in the following path without the example portfolios;
: : : C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\My_Data

: : : What's weired is there is an almost mirrow immage with the examples in \MY_Data, with out the executable, but with a shortcut back to the executable in \Fund Manager at the above path located at;
: : : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Fund Manager\My_Data

: : Hi John,

: : Could you e-mail me the file you're trying to import, along with the
: : import string you're using? I'll take a look. Have you opened up the
: : tab delimited file with your text editor, and made sure the missing price
: : data is really in there?

: : Normally, Fund Manager is just installed to:
: : C:\Program Files\Fund Manager

: : and there is a sub-folder called My_Data created, but the executable itself
: : is in the Fund Manager folder. It really doesn't matter though, as it can
: : be installed anywhere. The shortcut in the 2nd path you mentioned is just
: : the Start menu shortcut. If you go to "Start/Programs/Fund Manager" you
: : should see several shortcuts.

: : Thanks,
: : Mark

: Mark, the Tab delimited looks ok to me. Im sending you () a zip file containing the three dat files and the AOL tab delimited file.
: The AOL file is located on my computer at;

: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\AOLStock

: Thanks,
: John

Hi John,

I was able to use this tab delimited file, and update all 3 of the investment files you sent. How are you importing? With what command?

I used the generic price import with these settings:

Specify Date: Yes
Specify Symbol: No
Format String: SYMB XX NAV XX

Thanks,
Mark
