Mark,

Since the last update on 3 May I've been having major problems updating my European stocks.

Am running FM Pro 8.4 with 379/119, this is the only change that was made.

I'm not sure where the problem lies, with you or Yahoo since the symptoms appeared with the update.

1. The country Yahoo quote servers from France, Holland, Spain & Germany have become "inoperative". My work around is to change the default on the portfolio to plain Yahoo and tell each stock in the portfolio to use the default. This now works for the above countries. I did not make any changes to the individual stock properties. They all had already the proper extensions (pa for Paris, as for Amsterdam, ...).

Could you tell me what's happening? Is my solution correct?

2. The above does NOT work for the UK. For each of my UK stocks I have to explicitly tell them to use the Yahoo UK server.

I have several stocks from different countries in the same portfolio, this has always worked up until now, including the mixing of EUR and GBP.

3. There is a second problem with the UK stocks, the values being returned are now in Pounds, up until now they were in Pence.

** HELP how do I get back to pence? This is an URGENT problem.

4. All the US servers except Yahoo seem to have disappeared. What's happening?

Thanks

Richard
