Hi Pat,

Yes. Fund Manager has command line options that you can use, along with
Windows Task Scheduler to automate un-attended price updates. See "Command
Line Arguments" in FM's online help. As an example, here is the command I've
got scheduled in Windows Task Scheduler to accomplish this:

C:\PROGRA~1\FUNDMA~2\FM.EXE C:\Data\FINANCE\MY_DATA\all.mm4 /I /Q

BTW, you can use the full long pathname if you put quotes around it.

Thanks,
Mark
