: I just downloaded and install the latest version of FM Personal (unregistered) (running under Win2K SP4).

: 1. When I try to retrieve transactions from Scottrade, the Retrieving box is displayed, but nothing else happens for several minutes, so I press Cancel and then an error box pops up with "fm.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows....." and FM is then closed.

: 2. When I try to retrieve transactions from Fidelity, only one fund of five is displayed (the only one with transactions in the last 30 days). Other funds which should be shown, but aren't, do have some info in ofxretr.txt and xmldump.txt. I have "all dates" and all "import options" checked.

: TIA for whatever help I may receive!

Hi Keith,

#1) I just tested Scottrade,and it seems to be retrieving okay currently. Could you give it another try? Maybe there was a temporary connection problem? If you get that crash again, could you see if you can find an "address" and "code" for the violation, in the message windows that are displayed? If it is a reproducable problem, I could send you a debug version to output some more information.

#2) The transaction retrieve in Fund Manager only retrieves "transactions", it does not retrieve the "positions". Technically, it does retrieve this information, but it doesn't make use of it currently... Different brokers make transactions available on their OFX servers for varying lengths of time. 90 days is rather common. It sounds like only this one fund has transactions available on the server. If this doesn't seem correct based on the logs, please let me know.

Thanks,
Mark
