: After setting up the number of shares that I have in a company, and requesting the prices from the internet I face the following problem:

: The share price on the internet is in pence (or £0.01), but valuation assumes the internet price is in pounds (£). Hence the valuation of my stock is 100 times the true value. Although to convert back to the correct value is relatively easy, I would rather it were not required.

: Has anyone else had this difficulty, and is there a setting that I am ignoring to correct this error?

Hi Richard,

Are you using Yahoo - UK & Ireland for a quote server? If so, please read these topics:

They discuss how you can have the prices updated in pounds instead of pence.

Thanks,
Mark
