: : On selecting to download the internet prices from the Australian Stock Exchange I find that the entry inserted into the stock data is a repeat of the last entry in the data table. All appears to go fine when the download is executing. This is an intermittent problem. If I attempt to repeat the download I get no action as it seems as though FM thinks the data is already ther (which I supose it is ... just the wrong data).

: : Even after deleting the invalid entries fopr all stocks I can not get the data downloaded correctly.

: : Any suggestions....

: : Regards..... Greg

: Further info.... if I close all investments and then from the empty screen open those investments again I am able to successfully download the last closing price details.

: Surely this is not what I should have to do... it would seem that I have to re-open all investments for which I wish to download last closing price data.

Hi Greg,
Each time you do a internet retrieve FM requests fresh data from the server,
and makes sure to request a non-cached version of this data. The problem
may be related to how often new prices are updated on this server. I believe
they only update prices once a day, around midnight. If you receive
yesterday's prices you can go check with browser to see if the prices are
updated on the server.

Thanks,
Mark
