Hi Mark,

Sounds like FM isn't parsing your data correctly for some reason if you
see the transactions in the tranlog.txt file, but not in the trandata.txt
file. The trandata.txt file is the parsed version from the log. Could you
e-mail me the section of your tranlog.txt file that contains your
transactions? I would need to see the section that looks like this:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * Fund Manager Inserted * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I understand you may be concerned about sharing your personal data.
Please feel free to change any/all numbers. I would just like to
see a few sample transactions, to see the format. I don't need to see
all of the transactions, just 1 of each type should be fine.

Thanks,
Mark

: Thanks Mark,

: 1. The date filter is set to "All Dates"
: 2. The option "Ignore Transactions Already In Fund Manager Investment"
: is always turned on when the window opens. I turn it off after the window opens but I still don't get anything showing in the window. Anyway, at least some of the transactions given in the tranlog.txt file have not yet been entered in Fund Manager--I checked.

: 3. Another possible clue: The tranlog.txt file contains some transactions that were retrieved, but the trandata.txt file contains only:
: Portfolio: 14
: Portfolio: 4
: Portfolio: 10
: Portfolio: 12
: Portfolio: 5
: Portfolio: 11

: The Help screen accessed through the "Select Transactions to Update" window says that "The data file contains just the portfolio data retrieved." So shouldn't trandata.txt contain more than just the six lines given above? Shouldn't it also contain the transactions?

: Thanks,
: Mark R


: : Hi Mark,

: : Could the problem be that you have the option:

: : "Ignore Transactions Already In Fund Manager Investment"

: : turned on? This is in the lower right portion of the "Select Transactions
: : to Update" dialog box. When selected (which it is by default) any transactions
: : that are duplicates of ones you already have recorded will not be shown.

: : Another thing to check is that your date filter is set to "All Dates" in the
: : lower left portion of this dialog.

: : Thanks,
: : Mark

: : : I'm a registered user of Version 6.0.324 of Fund Manager, and I like the program.

: : : I'm having difficulty retrieving transactions. When I click on Edit/Internet retrieve/transactions, I get a message box showing the transactions being retrieved but then I get an empty window (labeled "Select Transactions to Update"). None of the transactions are listed.

: : : When I viewed the tranlog.txt file, I saw that a number of transactions had apparently been retrieved and were in the file. But they are not displayed in the "Select Transactions to Update" window.

: : : Looks like I'm missing something simple here, like a setting of some kind.

: : : By the way, the transactions are being retrieved from Yahoo.
