: : : : : : : 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?

: : : : : 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.

: : : : 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,

Hi Mark!

Waiting for the answer, I restore my backup file of friday and tried again.It happened exactly the same thing and happened with the last portfolio that is bigger and it looks that this message saying that many changes have been made... and when I clicked OK it happens. Can we avoid that message to appear? It looks like the program is trying to close(/Q) again and again and is blocked by waithing the OK click.
