Hi Yvan,

Yes, you can use command line arguments along with Windows Task Scheduler
to set up automatic price updates for your portfolios. See "command line
arguments" in the index of the online help for specifics and examples.

To create the tasks go to "Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools /
Scheduled Tasks". Click "Add Scheduled Task" and follow the prompts in
the wizard to set up a new task. At the end you'll want to modify the
properties of this task to add the necessary command line arguments.
You edit the properties, and adjust the "Run" field to something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\fm.exe" "C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\my_data\myport.mm4" /I /Q

You would set up a task for each top level portfolio you want updated.

Thanks,
Mark
