: : I use FM for several portfolios and have them all set to download prices from Yahoo by selecting Yahoo from the pull down menu in the Default Quote Server field of the Internet Retrieve Settings dialog. One of the portfolios insists on downloading from the Yahoo Historical server, even though Yahoo is the default. It then asks me for the Historical Price Retrieve Dates, which is another step I must take each day to get the quotes. I don't know how to correct this problem and will appreciate any suggestions.

: Hi Gerry,

: If you have "Options / Internet Settings / Default Quote Server" set to Yahoo for this portfolio, yet it still shows the date range dialog for Yahoo (Historical) I suspect that one or more of your investments in that portfolio are assigned to use the Yahoo (Historical) server instead of the "Default Server". You can quickly check this for all your investments in the portfolio by creating a "Custom" report, with the "Quote Server" field. To change this for an investment, go to the "Investment Properties..." dialog, and select the "Internet Retrieve" tab.

That did it, Mark. One investment was set to Yahoo Historical and when I set it to Yahoo, it solved the problem. Many thanks.
