I got the above message when I tried to "update prices now".

So the 5/19 issues are " now fixed" as of 6/29. However, they
still can't get their provider to update funds prices. Do you think that
WHOEVER is THE contact at Microsoft to " handle the Yodlee pricing
issue", is worried about his job ? I would think that the T+C's of the
agreement would have SOME penalty for Yodlee and that MSFT would get
someone else to provide the service ( it can't get worse).

Can't you use one of the free online services that provide current or
prior day mutual fund quotes + free portfolios? eg Morningstar or
finance yahoo or smartmoney ( not sure if it does les mutuals ).

MS finance is all about MSN marketing. Wise up. It is 100%
believable and predictable.

Yep, Money is frustrating. But it's also a very cheap program with few
alternatives. Money has discovered that while the public often demands
first class service, they're rarely willing to pay for it. My copy of
M2004P cost $12 plus shipping. For what I little I paid, Money provides far
more than $12 in value, even if it is buggy and the updates sometimes slow
and inaccurate.

I just called Microsoft Money Support/Customer Service. They told me they
are aware of the problem and are working on it.

I think we need to bombard them with as many phone calls as possible.

I just clicked FLPSX to get a quote, the time it shows at MSN:

Pathetic. Someone ought to be fired.
