: Hi Jimmy,

: You'll need to look up what Yahoo uses for the ticker symbols for the options you want. If you look up a symbol on Yahoo using your browser, you'll see a link on the left hand side to "Options". Going there will show you all the option quotes/symbols they have. For example, see:

: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=AFL&m=2009-01?s=ZURAH.X

So that would assume that Yahoo uses the symbol to be ZURAH.X.

In the view where I can right click on my symbol, I right click and go down to properties and then change the symbol to ZURAH.X, but I'm still getting a server error when I try to update the prices.

So feels like I tried all the combos of symbols I would think that would work but can't get it to retrieve.

Wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks
Jimmy
