: : : : : : Hi Mark,

: : : : : : Recently you told me how to schedule update of multiple portfolios ( using the scheduled task). The problem is that at the end of the update of the 3 portfolios, as usual, a message saying that multiple changes have been made... I have to click OK but I was not in front of the computer, so the message was repeated many times and finally when I saw it and clicked ok I got an error message and the program closed. Since that incident I am unable to open again that last portfolio.1) What can I do to fix that problem now.2)That scheduled update was intended to be done unattended but it is a problem.

: : : : : Hi Yvan,

: : : : : What exactly did the message say? Was it due to the auto-backup?

: : : : : What happens when you try to open your portfolio? Do you get an error message?

: : : : : Thanks,

: : : : Excuse me for repeating the message: it was not visible on the board.

: : : : It was not due for the backup and when I try to open it nothing happen.If I do a right click on the name of that portfolio there is 0 KB...

: : : : It is a standard message saying win encounted a problem and the program will be closed or something like that.

: : : Hi Yvan,

: : : The portfolio file (*.mm4) itself is 0KB? If so, and you do a "File /
: : : Open Portfolio..." and select that portfolio you should get some error
: : : message or something. How are you opening it? With that menu command?

: : : What version of Fund Manager are you using?

: : : I'd suggest trying to set up 1 portfolio first, and get that one working.
: : : If Fund Manager is crashing please let me know, along with the crash
: : : details, like the address of the crash.

: : : You may need to hit the "Refresh" button on your browser after posting
: : : a message, the message should show up right away.

: : Yes the *.mm4 is 0 Kb and when I try to open it there is no message... it is like emty??

: : The other portfolios are working. version is 6.8.344

: : Yvan

: As a complementary information : here is the way I put the command line for each portfolio in the win task manager:
: "C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\fm.exe" "C:\Program Files\Fund Manager\my_data\Yvan stock.mm4" /I /Q

Hi Yvan,

If the portfolio file is empty, you'll have to restore a backup if you have
one, or re-create the portfolio file. I'm not sure how/why it became
empty, if you can reproduce the situation, or learn more please let me know.

Your command line argument looks fine. Can you try doing just 1 task, and
seeing if that works okay before adding in the other 2 portfolios?

Thanks,
Mark
