: Hi Mark,

: I've noticed that since the beginning of April, the values for "OPEN" "HIGH" "LOW" and "VOLUME" are all zeros for Canadian Income Trusts retrieved using the Yahoo server. For example, PWT-UN.TO or COS-UN.TO . To get around this, I waited until the next day and did a Yahoo Historical retrieve on these stocks to get the missing fields, but the current day's data still shows zeros. Has anything changed?

: Thanx,

Hi Sheldon,

I took a look, and Yahoo isn't showing open, high, low, or volume on PWT-UN.TO for the current quote. If you look on Yahoo using your browser, you'll see they only show the last price. I'm not sure why, or how long it has been like that. I do see they show this information for their historical prices, but not the current quote. The regular Yahoo quote server is getting the data as you would see it on the current quote. Nothing in Fund Manager has changed for this quote server in quite some time. Fund Manager actually gets the data from the "Download Data" link, which downloads the current quote data into a CSV format. If you look at that, it also is not displaying open, high, low, or volume.

Thanks,
Mark
