: : : Here we go again. I'm spending more time sorting through problems that I can't get back to investing!! Now the updates for all of my mutual funds are way off. Apparently, the updates for mutual funds have a decimal problem and are totally rendering any attempt to update portfolio values as impossible. The following are just a few of the problem mutual funds:

: : : AGIFX, DODBX, SCDGX, PLCPX, FSFSX, PRSCX, RPMGX, AND MORE.

: : : What's the next technical problem going to be??? HELP!

: : This is a very major problem. With this problem, any attempt to update prices in a portfolio containing mutual funds will then eliminate the accuracy of the portfolio values. Not to mention that each and every mutual fund then has to be reviewed and the updated price deleted. I'm begining to get parinoid about trying to execute what should be routine daily FM functions.

: Bill,
: Everything seems to be working properly, as I just tested it.
: I retrieved historical prices and got $49.67 for AGIFX for yesterday,
: which is the same as reported by Yahoo if you go there with your browser.
: Could you have accidentally selected the wrong historical server, like
: maybe "Yahoo (Adjusted Historical)" instead of "Yahoo (Historical)"?
: The "Adjusted" one is adjusted for splits/distributions, which you would
: not use if you are entering those manually.

: Mark

Mark, I absolutely did not use "Adjusted". I never do. I used historical and tried it two times today. It posted the wrong prices for about 8 out of 10 mutual funds. I don't know what else to do. I'll try again.

Thanks
