Problem retrieving from Yahoo - Italy

[rietti]

Since December 2009 I started having problems when downloading fund prices from Yahoo - Italy
The functionality had previously been good.
Now when I retrieve a single fund price, I get:
"Could not update any investments"
"One or more servers were unable to retrieve any prices... etc."
"Yahoo - Italy
working, 383 or greater"

The server address that FM is looking at is:
'it.old.finance.yahoo.com'

(I don't know where the 'old' comes from, but Yahoo Italy has somehow modified their support for fund quotes).

Typical symbols I am trying to lookup are: IT0001280541ITA or FR0010148981ITA

I am running:
Personal Version: 9.7
Quote Module: 413
Transacton Module: 137

on Windows Vista Italian.

Thanks to anyone who can help me on that.

Hi rietti,

If you browse to: http://it.finance.yahoo.com/ and try to look up those 2 symbols, they don't seem to be available? Maybe the symbols have changed, and you need to find the new ones? If you can look up a quote on Yahoo-Italy using your browser, but cannot retrieve it in Fund Manager, please let me know what symbol displays this problem.

Mark,
no, I can no longer retrieve either of those symbols (nor many others) from http://it.finance.yahoo.com/ . The site informs the user that their fund center is being revised. Some symbols are found on their database but the quotation is missing anyways.
That is why I thought you may have chosen to refer to the 'it.old.finance.yahoo.com' server at some point, but now the old server, if browsed directly, refers back to the new one.
So I found non no way to retrieve these fund quotes from yahoo Italy.

Hi Guido,

It might be worth a note to Yahoo, asking them if/when they will be making these quotes available again. Have you tried looking on any of the other supported quote servers for the quotes you need? Maybe Bloomberg? For links to all the quote servers, see:

If you cannot find your quotes on any of our supported quote servers, and know of another good server that does offer them for free, please let us know.
