: Mark - Thanks. Unless I misunderstand the process, FM retrieves dividend/stock split information by initiating a historical price update and reports record date. Is there an option for the download to post payable date instead of record date? or must I manually change the dates? and is that required as well for all transaction entry options? Thank you.

Hi Chris,

There are a variety of ways to get distribution data, one of them is to retrieve it from the "Yahoo (Historical)" quote server, as you're describing. When using this method only the record date is reported, so that is the date the distribution is recorded for in Fund Manager. If you want to change it, you would need to do so manually, or find another source of distribution data, like retrieving it from your broker/fund company with the transaction retrieve feature.

Thanks,
Mark
