The MSN site works OK, and I have recently had one share (ARG) work OK.

Others are still creating problems: EIF, GIR, LGL, PMH, QAN. All my other
shares are OK.

You mentioned recent changes to the quote server. How do I fond out more
about this? I notice that sittsen had the same problem start to appear on
the same day, so I suspect that the server is the problem.

My sense is that if it works at
http://moneycentral.msn.com/detail/s...?Symbol=AU:ARG then it
probably should work in Money, and vice versa. I guess you get some
quotes. If not, then maybe a firewall is blocking access. I have my
doubts about the availability of the AU options..

In any case, there was a recent quote server change. Some things may
be not working now that could be added later.

I am having problems downloading Australian Stock Exchange share prices.
I have been doing this for years, but recently I have been getting messages
saying:

For Shares: "Money was unable to retrieve a quote forAU:ARG. There was an
error reading from, or writing to, your Money file. Please exit Money, then
restart the application an try again." The same applies to ARG, PMH, PEN,
EIF, GIR. The only thing that these have in common is that they have all had
a split at some point.

For Options: The symbol AU:UTOO is invalid. This applies to all my
options eg PENO, PMHOA. I had this problem a while ago, but it disappeared
and then returned.

These are not a problems with my files. The same thing happens using old
restores and other computers. I think it is a problem with the format of the
information wherever Microsoft holds ASX information. Can anyone assist with
this.
