: to set the "View/Split Adjusted" option for you when retrieving from
: these sources. Previously, you were required to set it properly before
: each retrieve.

: Thanks,

With the version 4.1, I get more than 200 prices updated. If the server delivers only the first 200, where do the other prices come from? Are these additional prices correct?
