: : I recently began having difficulty retrieving mutual fund quotes from the Canada Stockwatch site. I can retrieve stock quotes okay but not MF quotes. Some of the symbols I'm having problems with are CUN*CBF, DIF*DIF, FII*CAA, RMF*DIV, RMF*INC. Although I'm not certain if there is a connection, I recently updated the TRANRETR.DLL file to version 111. Previously everything was working fine. I would appreciate it if you could have a look and help me out.

: Hi Dave,

: I just tested this server using quote retrieve module 361. It retrieved fine,
: but I do notice that some of the quotes haven't been updated for a couple of
: days. This is a problem with Canada Stockwatch just not having updated prices.
: You can double check by visiting their web site with your browser, and looking
: up the quotes. You should also see the same (couple day old) quotes listed
: there. You can also turn on confirmation notices under "Option / Prefersnces"
: and then Fund Manager will tell you how many quotes it updated after a retrieve.
: I suspect you're still getting updates, but they're just old, so it appears
: like it isn't retrieving?

: Thanks,

Hi Mark

Thanks for the input. Last evening I tried retrieving prices again and I got all stock & MF prices for for January 7th, so things seem to be back on track for now. However,I never was able to retrieve MF prices for Jan. 6th.
Back in October, after the Quicken site stop working, you were considering adding another site for Canadian Mutual Funds. Is that still in the works?

thanks
Dave
