: : : When I try to update prices using Yahoo historical I get an "could not update any investments" window. I am using an unregistered personal version 5.2.313. I have downloaded historical prices for ASX stocks using this server before without problems however cannot update any November prices. When I go to the site I can retrieve information on individual stocks (using the *.AX) extension. Has there been a change regarding historical downloads of Australian stocks? Help please?

: : Hello Robert,
: : I didn't even realize this server had historical ASX quotes... Thanks
: : for letting me know. Have you checked using your browser that the server
: : has the historical quotes you're looking for? They may have the daily quotes,
: : but not the historical ones. What is an example ticker that you're trying
: : to get quotes for?

: : Thanks,

: Thanks for your reply. I will try to figure out the generic import command and give that a go. I definitely downloaded hitorical data with Yahoo historical as I remember counting back 200 days at a time. Worked fine then. I've since upgraded to v313 dll so maybe it only worked on a previous version. Anyway once again thanks for your help. By the way it seems like a good program although I have't had much of a chance to thoroughly look at it yet.

Hi Robert,
If you want to see if this server offers historical quotes for they
symbols you're interested in, go to this URL:

http://chart.yahoo.com/t?a=08&b=19&c=01&d=11&e=20&f=01&g=d&s=IBM

You can then type in the symbol for the quotes you're looking for to see
if they're available on this server.

Thanks,
Mark
