: ok, found the firewall documentation -- Yahoo historical doesn't work from
: the NT machine, either.
: Any ideas on why the import from generic file did not work would be
: appreciated, particularly information as to whether today's update will resolve
: that as well. : --Matt : : 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
: : : : : : option. Been working good up to now, I did update to new program mentioned in e-mail notice.
: : : : : : Thanks. : : : : : I am having the same problem. Any solution in sight?
: : : : : Thanks. : : : : Adding a little more info on this problem...
: : : : The Yahoo historical quote server appears to be functioning fine if you go to
: : : : the Yahoo site. For whatever reason, Fund Manager is not identifying the
: : : : data correctly. : : : : Thanks,
: : : : Steve : : : We will be releasing a new internet retrieve module to fix this problem. : : : Thanks,
: : : Mark The new retrieve DLL is available, and fixes the Yahoo Historical servers.
What file format and format string were you using for the generic import
that wouldn't work? Thanks,
Mark
