: Hi Mark,
: I checked all the symbols at yahoo finance I am using in my portfolio to make sure they are correct. For example UMBIX is not working when I try to download from FM also the transaction module is not updating my portfolio. I don't know what may be wrong. I am still evaluating the product. Is it possible my evaluation time is ended? Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim,

Which Yahoo server are you using? I just tested UMBIX on the regular "Yahoo" server, and it retrieved okay. If you are using "Yahoo (Historical)", that is not working. For some reason Yahoo isn't showing historical quotes on any mutual funds at the moment. I believe this started yesterday, and hope that it is a temporary problem, but don't know. You can verify by going to Yahoo, and clicking on the "historical prices" link. You'll see there are no historical prices being shown for funds. If you need historical quotes, "MSN (Historical)" is providing historical quotes fine.

Regarding the transaction retrieve... Are you retrieving over a date range where you had transactions? Are you getting any errors when you retrieve? Do you have the option turned on to create new investments as needed? I would check all of your settings on the retrieve dialog, that is unrelated to the Yahoo problem, and should still be working. None of this is due to being in the trial period. Fund Manager is fully functional during the complete evaluation period.

Thanks,
Mark
