: Version 207 of the internet retrieve module is available.
: Choose "Help/Fund Manager on the Web/Check for Updates..."
: to obtain this update.

: Changes in this retrieve module:

: Fixed Quicken - Canada server, and added option to divide JSE prices by 100 before updating.

: When retrieving from the Quicken - Canada quote server the last 5 prices
: for your mutual funds will be updated with the dates/prices reported
: by the server.

: By default, prices from the Johannesburg server are updated as reported by this server, which is in cents. If you prefer, you can have these prices divided by 100, so your investments are tracked in Rand instead of cents. To update in Rand, modify the following registry key:

: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\Internet Retr

: Set a value for jse_adj in this registry key to the string of "100".

: The Internet Retr key will probably already exist, so you can just add the jse_adj value to this existing key. Registry values can be added with the "regedit" application.

Hi Mark,
Magic product and the jse fix works well with shares, however mutual funds are a bit of a problem as they download (after the 100 fix) as 1000 times the value.
ie after the 100 fix the share price is correct but the mutual fund price is
R1,000.00 instead of R1.00
On the Johannesburg Stock Exchange all shares codes are 3 letters long while the Mutual Funds are four letters long; maybe that will help you devise a solution. Thanks
