: : : I found when I retrieve the historical data, the ver. 4.2 only allow
: : : maximum 200 days data for retrieving, whereas there is no such problem
: : : for ver. 4.1

: : Hello Wang,
: : The historical Yahoo server only will update 200 prices per request.
: : This has always been the case with this server. In versions prior to
: : 4.2 you could request longer date ranges, but you were only getting
: : the first 200. To eliminate confusion about why the other later
: : prices wouldn't be updated, we added a check to make sure you
: : only request 200 or less at a time. In addition, 4.2 also makes sure
: : 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?

: Yours,

In version 4.1 you should still not get more than 200 days per investment.
You may be getting a total of more than 200 quotes, because you can get
200 for each open investment. Could this be the case?

Thanks,
Mark
