Default Re: stock quotes won't update

I removed some of the stocks from my update list, low and behold I have been
able to download TWO times in a row!! It probably is a size issue. Thanks
for your help Glyn.

Default Re: stock quotes won't update

It would be worth cross checking the symbols, as an invalid one could cause
the download fail (I'm not think that Microsoft would have changed
something, but due to company mergers, name changes etc, these can change).
140 is quite a lot, but I believe within limits for the later versions of
Money.

Try updating half of them, and then the other half. If they all update
(check you have prices for all of them), then perhaps it's a size issue.

Default Re: stock quotes won't update

I am downloading about 140 different quotes, some american and some
canadian. The symbols should all still be valid (unless microsoft has
changed something). If I go to ,"update prices"," pick quotes to download",
all of the ones I want have a checkmark beside them.
I should also point out that in the "read call summary" page, when then
money update "your call was successful" is shown with the correct date(eg
29/08/2005), the "quotes, news and exchange rate" says my call was
successful, but the date is 21/08/2005.

Are all of the symbols still valid, and are they all selected where you can
choose which symbols to download prices for? How many are you downloading?

Default stock quotes won't update

I have a real tough time downloading my stock quotes. Often they won't
download on the first, second or even third time I try, if at all. Yet if I
go to the "read call summary messages" page, the money updates are always
checked off, with the proper date and time. This is getting very
frustrating, it has been happening for a long, long time. Any ideas, or is
this just a poor Microsoft connection problem? I have no problem connecting
to my email or other Web pages at the same time, so it is not my connection.
I use Money 2004, Canadian version.

Thanks,
FJ
