HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\Internet Retr

Set a value for jse_adj in this registry key to the string of "100".

The Internet Retr key will probably already exist, so you can just add the jse_adj value to this existing key.  Registry values can be added with the "regedit" application.

If you desire a different default, add a value to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\Internet Retr

Set the default extension value in the yahoo_uk_def_exch value. Examples would be ".M" or ".P".

It is not necessary to specify this default if you have added the exchange suffix to your investment's symbols.  The suffix specified in the investment's symbol overrides the default.  The default is only used if you do not have any exchange suffix specified in your investment's symbol.

Updated the Yahoo - UK server. The reply format from the server had changed. The prices are now updated for the date specified by the server, rather than the computer's date.

3/22/98 version 102:

Updated the Yahoo - UK updating method.  The default behavior was changed so that all investments recorded in FM with the symbol suffix of .L will always be updated in pounds.  All other investments will be updated by the price, as reported back from the Yahoo - UK server.

If you desire a different behavior, the behavior of this retrieve can be changed from the default by adding a value to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Beiley Software\Fund Manager\CurrentVersion\Internet Retr

Set a value for yahoo_uk in this registry key to the string of "X".  X must be an integer.

The Internet Retr key will probably already exist, so you can just add the yahoo_uk value to this existing key.  Registry values can be added with the "regedit" application.  The X in the above description should be replaced with an integer number as described here:

X = 0 or not present: default behavior (.L suffixed symbols updated in pounds, all others as specified by server)
X = any integer: All prices are divided by this integer before importing, regardless of the recorded symbol.

A common value of X would be 1 if you want prices updated in pence rather than the default of pounds.

2/21/98 version 101:

Changed Quicken - CA to request Canadian mutual fund prices, instead of Canadian stock prices.  Use the Quicken-CA mutuals quote server to retrieve Canadian mutual fund prices.  To get started the first time, visit www.quicken.ca to search for the "fund_key" by Baycom number or fund name.  After a search, a table will display the matching "Fund Name" and "Fund Code" with links to click on that will display the data for that fund.  Click on the desired link. The "fund_key" is listed in the last part of the URL, such as "fundKey=INV*EUR".  This example "fund_key" is for Investors European Growth Fund, with Baycom number (also referred to as fund code) INV106. Record this "fund_key" (INV*EUR in this example) as the symbol for your Canadian mutual funds. (note, the "fund_key" is case sensitive)

12/29/97 version 100:

First released, with the release of Fund Manager 3.2 for Win95/NT and 10.2 for Windows
