: I have encountered a new problem since upgrading to version 7.5 of the Personal Fund Manager. I update my prices weekly using the Yahoo Quote Server. Specifically when updating Fidelity Money Market Trust (FRTXX) it returns the 7-day yield (3.9%) rather than the actual NAV ($1.00). I then have to go in and make the correction manually. This did not occur in previous versions of the program.

: Thanks

Hi James,

For money market and cash accounts you can turn off the internet price retrieve. Go to "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve" and turn off "Retrieve Price". Yahoo does return the 7 day yield for money market symbols. I'm not aware of anything that has changed in 7.5 that would affect this. It has worked this way for quite some time.

Thanks,
Mark
