Mark,

Actually its one portfolio consisting of both stocks and mutual funds (requires two different servers to update).
Currently I run the update manually, change the internet settings to the new server, and run it manually again (same portfolio)
I guess I could duplicate this 'all' portfolio and save the internet settings for each server, set the command line switches, and have
windows schedule task flip flop the portfolios (I don't know how to do this)...however 'IF' it works it sounds like a lot of work!

Couldn't you just set a radio botton on the servers (future editions that is), and choose more than one server, then run this from the one command line switch?

THX
Ian

: : I love the auto-update feature in 4.0, however I need to poll
: : both Yahoo (stocks), and Quicken Canada (mutuals) update my 'all'
: : portfolio.

: : Any chance of being able to do this (automatically) in the future... ie not having to manually change Internet
: : settings to / from Quicken CA / Yahoo.

: : It would also be useful to be able to set one time for the update... eg. midnight

: Ian,
: Thanks for the feedback. FM4 now memorizes
: your server preference as part of the portfolio,
: so you could create 2 price updating portfolios,
: one for each server. Using the new FM command
: line options and Windows98 Scheduled Tasks feature
: you can have all your portfolios updated at any
: time/frequency.

: Thanks,
