: : Peter, I,ve no problems with the programme. Only the suggestion that Fund Manager could be made more valauable, both to Mark and its users by providing the means for the user to enter the URL's for data providers.
: : It just irks me that information available for nothing but a 15 to 30 minute delay in North America is charged for here, or only available 6 - 8 hours later. The only free current and historical data service provider I've found is Comsec (Commonwealth Bank Securities) but the down loading procedure is incredibly cumbersome compared to Mark's Fund Manager.
: : I'd like to be able to research & plan in the evening rather than the early morning.
: : If Mark could provide the facility described above I for one would be willing to pay extra for it. : : Regards
: : Richard : Hi Richard,
: As each URL provides data in a different format, I'm not sure it is
: possible to allow the user to enter in any generic URL for price quotes.
: If you do know of a site that offers free quotes, please provide us with
: the URL, and we can consider adding specific support for that server. : Thanks,
: Mark

MArk I have found that quicken in Australia provide free closing price data and unlike the ASX, you do not have to wait until midnight to get the prices.
The only catch is that you have to be registered (free) for their MONITOR service.
Their URL is http://www.quicken.com.au/
