: : : As for others, I haven't been able to update quotes since August 31st. Neither Stockwatch nor Quicken works. Tks for indicating what can be done...

: Hi Mark, thanks for the rapid follow-up.
: Example of symbols I've been using is SPP*INC with SWatch Canada, PCA*INC with Quicken Canada. Both are not wokring. I've tried PCA*INC.TO with Yahoo... but the problem here might be the server, their is none specific for Canada.
: Thanks again for looking into that.

Hi Patrick,

I just tested SPP*INC with the Canada Stockwatch server, and it retrieved
properly. How are you verifying if your quotes get updated? Please look
under "Edit / All Data..." with the "Prices" data type selected. One common
confusion is if you're looking at your ending graph date, and the ending date
is not "floating". If this is the case, see "View / Dates..." to fix that.

Thanks,
Mark
