: Mark,

: It was the same set of symbols last night and this morning. TWCUV, TWCVX, VWNDX, UOPIX are some. Last night I got all the prices. This morning just to the end of 1999

: It is probably something I am missing.

: The edits were trying to change the investment file name and then I noticed that they were also in the file somewhere so I messed with that. Then I deleted the portfolio file thinking that I could just redo the investments and portfolio. Got memory errors?? so deleted everything and redid it.

: Thanks

John,

TWCUV doesn't seem to be available on Yahoo. TWCVX is, and I tested it
with the Yahoo (Adjusted Historical) quote server, and it worked fine, updating
from 12/31/98 to 10/17/00 in a single retrieve. Maybe the problem is that
your prices really are updating, but your ending graph date is fixed on
12/31/99? Use "Edit/All Data..." with the "Prices" data type to see what
prices you really have recorded. You can adjust your date range several ways,
but one is with "View/Dates...".

Thanks,
Mark
