: : : : : I have been trying to use the Auto Update feature to update my Canadian Mutual funds, since Canada Stockwatch only gives daily updates. When I run it, I get an error "RAS Enum error". The updates occur, but the software does not disconnect the modem, nor does it shut down. I turn my computer off each day and start it back up well before the update time. I also tried to use Windows Task Scheduler. That does the update, but stops at the error message also. When I click OK on the error message, it then closes Fund Manager but does not disconnect the modem. I use the /I /Q commands, and I also have the "Disconnect modem" and "Quiet Retreive" boxes checked in Fund Manager. What is the error message telling me? How do I get the modem to disconnect? Thanks for the help.

: : : : Hi Bob,

: : : : By "Auto Update" do you mean you leave Fund Manager running and have
: : : : it set to retrieve every so often?

: : : : This error is happening when Fund Manage is trying to disconnect your DUN
: : : : connection. FM is querying Windows for a list of connections, and is getting an error. Unfortunately,
: : : : the error message is not too descriptive. I've fixed this for FM7, and can
: : : : send you a debug version to try and root cause the problem. Would you like
: : : : me to email this debug version to you?

: : : : Thanks,
: : : : Mark

: : : Yes, that is what I mean by Auto Update, and yes, I would like to try to use the debug version. Please send me a copy, hopefully with instructions!

: : Hi Bob,

: : I've just emailed the debug version to you (with instructions).

: Thanks for the file download. I have run it, and, in addition to the original error message, I now get a second message "The buffer is invalid". Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks again for the help.

Hi Bob,

Okay, thanks. Let me send you another one then, with some more instructions.

Thanks,
Mark
