I have standard equity options that only seem to get priced intermittantly
Using Yahoo (Options) which I assume is the only source?
It worked fine on june 9.
Thanks in advance if I have missed something.

Hi Dan,

It looks like you have the option name recorded as the symbol. Instead, look up the symbol used for this option by going to Yahoo with your web browser:

http://finance.yahoo.com

and you will see the symbol should be:

YHOO141018C00050000

Change the symbol property of your option investment to this, and then try the retrieve again. I just tested it from here, and it correctly retrieved the option price of 0.37.
Thanks,
Mark
