: I am a new user of FM and am using Windows 98, Money 99, Netscape 4.61,
: and a 56K modem. I have been able to transfer my Money 99 stock portfolio
: to FM following the instructions provided by the FM help menu, however
: only the names of the stocks transferred, all the purchase information
: had to be input manualy and none of the historical market pricing or volume
: data transferred. Please advise how to create a 5yr history of daily
: market pricing and volume data charts from the Internet in FM. Money 99
: does this with a push of a button for any stock so I am sure I have just
: miss read FM's instructions. Hi Henry,
To retrieve historical prices, change the quote server under "Options/
Internet Settings..." to "Yahoo (Historical)", and then click the
internet retrieve button on the toolbar. You will be prompted for a
date range to request prices. You can only obtain 200 quotes per request,
so you will want to break it up into several 6 month or so chunks. Thanks,
Mark
