: no problem,just looking for explanation/advise re: downloading quotes.

: currently using yahoo-historical, split adjustment set to off, and entering dates.

: 1. is there a source of quotes that will somehow also indicate when splits have occurred so that i don't have to research and enter them one at a time.

Not really, other than the Yahoo Adjusted server.

: 2. what is difference between yahoo and yahoo-historical/yahoo-adjusted historical

The "Yahoo (Historical)" prices are the actual prices that the investment
closed at on that day. The "Yahoo (Adjusted Historical)" prices have been
adjusted for splits and distributions. If you are also manually recording
splits and distributions, you would not want to retrieve with the adjusted
prices, as you will be double counting for the splits and distributions.

Thanks,
Mark
