: 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.

Hi Jimmy,

I just tested retrieving a quote for ZURAH.X from Yahoo, and it worked okay. Please check these items:

1) Make sure you have the latest quote module (385) by going to "Help / FM on the Web / Check For Updates...".

2) You have the symbol recorded as ZURAH.X, with no leading/trailing spaces.

3) You have the default quote server set to "Yahoo" under "Options / Internet Settings...". ("Yahoo (Historical)" is not the same as "Yahoo", and won't work for options.)

4) Make sure this investment is set to retrieve from the default server. Go into its "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve" to make sure it is set to retrieve prices, and using the "".

5) Do a price retrieve with "Edit / Internet Retrieve / Prices".

Thanks,
Mark
