I have been experiencing the same problem. My home machine is Windows 95,
and I had done nothing for Y2K, and was running FM4.2. I updated to FM4.3
and installed the Microsoft Y2K updates (turned out, I only had one file that
was not Y2K compliant, which was COMMAND.COM, and it was non-compliant in
an inconsequential way). Still no luck, and the generic import did not work
either, thus shutting off all means for me to do automatic historical updates. So I brought FundManager in to test on a couple of machines at work; one
Windows NT and one 95 that had had extensive updates for Y2K. I brought in
4.2, as that's what I backed up before 12/31. I discovered that Fund Manager
Internet updates do not work through a firewall (maybe there's documentation
on this, but I don't have time at the moment to research it). The generic
file updates worked on both machines, however -- with the display date in
FundManager graphs showing up with a single digit for the date (e.g., end date
of 1/3/0)! Not sure what that all means, but thought I'd add it. --Matt : : : : I can only update to 12/31/99, can't get any year 2000 updates, using yahoo! historical
