: When using update price, retrieve internet, does FM retrieve cap gain/div distributions or must they be entered manually. IE: I'm tracking amerindo fund, ATCHX. (don't own so have entered as zero shares) They recently made a distribution, but it does not show in FM. Just shows a price drop on dist date. I've tried yahoo hist split adjust, etc.
: Thanks for any advice

Rob,

The Yahoo Adjusted Historical server option should take care of this for you. I'm not sure, though, how timely it is updated or of the accuracy. If you're tracking a large number of funds for purposes of charting, I'd recommend either Investor's FastTrack (www.fasttrack.net) or Quotes Plus (www.qp2.com). These are fee services but are known for their data accuracy (including distributions and other types of adjustments). It's worth paying the price if you are tracking more than a few funds.
