Can you simply do an Update of your Internet Information? If you get an
error, what is it? This typically is not related to the quote download
issue, so I think we're dealing with 2 separate problems. However, we need
to solve this before we can even work on the quotes.

Money 98 was a different animal when it came to the online connection
settings. Somewhere under Tools, Options, Connections, or something like
that, there was a setting to connect to the Internet manually. There was
also a problem that this version had if you ever had Compuserve on the
machine there was a file called rpawinet.dll, I think, that bombed out the
connection.

I tend to agree with Dick that this may be more of a headache to fix than
it's worth. You are certainly welcome to try and I'll throw all the
suggestions I have your way, but it certainly seems that we are going
backward rather than forward in the process of fixing this.

In addition to Cal's suggestion re. multiple threads, you might also
consider migrating to a version that is less than 6 versions obsolete. M98
was possibly the buggiest version of Money in the history of the product.
It's the only version I've ever skipped--because it was so flaky. Anybody
having problems with it at this late date isn't going to get much sympathy.

How about keeping your saga on the same thread?

Default Continuing saga of problems with online update of Money 98

In response to my 9/21/03 post re. difficulties in online
updating of Money 98, Bonnie Synhorst, MVP, suggested
unclicking a selection of symbols until the problem quote
was isolated. Given the description of how Money 98 reacts
to an incorrect symbol, that sounds like a rational
solution.

But, when I try that I get another error message saying
(paraphrase) that Money was not able to download internet
quotes and that I should verify the following: 1)check
modem connection & modem settings in windows control
panel; (I've got cable internet connection through
earthlink or am I missing something?) 2) check if internet
software is installed and you're able to successfully
access the internet; (I've got internet access with no
difficulties) and, 3) check that country code for symbols
is correct (it is).

Money won't allow me to isolate a group of symbols or even
just check status of one particular invetesment.

Any additonal thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
