: : : I can't get this to work. I tried at 6:00am ET and again at 3:45pm. No changes were made to the files in the past few days and it worked fine yesterday. [It occured to me that there may be a brutality filter that is protecting me from the results :-) ]

: : : Suggestions??

: : : Thanks

: : I don't know why I don't try things before sending up a flare. I backed it up to the 23rd and it went fine.

: : Sadly, there is no brutality filter.

: I still need help. The 23rd re-updated but it did not pick up any 24th values.

Hi John,
The "Yahoo Historical" quote server does not always have up to the minute
quotes. It is for getting past history, not today's quote. Sometimes it
may be a day or two behind. You should use the "Yahoo" quote server for
current quotes, and the historical just to fill in gaps in the history.

Thanks,
Mark
