: : : : : I just uploaded the FM version 4.x beta.
: : : : : I have been unable to retrieve updated prices from the
: : : : : Internet. I am using a proxy server. I can access the
: : : : : web from buttons on FM but if I attempt to update prices
: : : : : or retrieve server status I end up with a blank box
: : : : : titled, "Internet Quote/Pager Server Status." I am
: : : : : positive that I have the correct proxy and port settings.
: : : : : If I change them, I get an error message. : : : : Hi Tony,
: : : : Do you get some error number? What server
: : : : are you using? : : : : Thanks,
: : : : Mark : : : Mark,
: : : My proxy is proxy.atl.com. If I use anything
: : : but that, I get an error 11001 (gethostbyname_prox)
: : : If I use anything but port 8080, I get a 10061
: : : message. If I use the correct proxy and port, I
: : : get the "Internet Quote/Pager Server Status" screen
: : : but it is blank. I appreciate any help you can
: : : offer. : : : Thanks
: : : Tony : : Hi Tony,
: : What command are you issuing to get to this
: : dialog box? In other words, what toolbar button,
: : or menu command are you selecting? : : Thanks,
: : Mark : Mark,
: I can get the box three ways:
: 1)select Options/Internet Settings and then press
: the "Retrieve Status Now" button.
: 2)select the toolbar button that looks like a globe
: with a S (or is it $ symbol?). It's titled "Check
: for software updates and obtain quote...
: 3)If I select the Retrieve and update arrow button
: on the toolbar, the program attempts to retrieve
: the data and then gives the message "Could not
: update any investments." Acknowledging the message
: gives me the option to read the online help and
: then it gives the blank box.
: I hope this information helps. I am intrigued by
: the feature and want to see it work. : Thanks,
: Tony Hi Tony,
These methods of getting the status dialog
are all normal. I think what you are trying
to do is #3, but have the retrieve update
prices. Please check to make sure you have
correct symbols recorded for your investments,
and that you have selected a server that offers
these quotes. For more info on this feature

Mark
