I've also been unable to update quotes since about February 5. I
thought it was a corrupt file, so I tried reinstalling and all the
other fixes I found on the website. What you say about the server
changing makes sense, but before I buy new software I'd like to verify
that. Is there anyway to get an official answer? Does Microsoft
monitor/answer on this ng?

Here's an idea. The new free Fedora Core 1 software from
Linux Red Hat includes the latest version of Gnucash - a
Money/Quicken type financial software program which does
it all. Operating system and lotsa application software
are free for downloading or $20 from your local book
store. And it will run on an old, slow computer.

I'm guessing that Microsoft has decided in their
corporate wisdom to cut us Money 97 users off. But I've
got a work around solution. Oh, yes. I went to Comp USA
to buy a new version (Money 2004 deluxe --$60 no less)and
you know --- the Standard version won't download quotes,
and the $90 "Premium" version will only let you download
quotes for 3 years! Phooey. I got the 2002 version of
Quicken, and while I think Intuit stinks it still doesn't
stink as bad as Microsoft Money!!!!

You're right....I checked all the 'Boards' and it looks
like you and I are the only ones using a seven year old
product. Of course, it has worked fine for 7 years so why
why change...if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Of course,
now it's broke, or I should say, they have changed the IE
server that it connects to so that we can't talk to it
anymore. As you can guess, MS's recommendation would be to
get Money2004 which, unfortunately, would not run well if
at all on my P200 old and slow (and paid for) machine.
Thanks for your reply...nice to know someone is there.
I'll let you know if I find out anything, but I'm afraid
that there have been some software updates made that are
not compatible with ver. 5.0 Howard

I've been having the same problem.
I don't suppose anyone at Microsoft is willing to help
old-timers like us who haven't paid for an upgrade in a
while.

I have been unable to retrieve Online quotes/price updates
for several days now. The data returns a message for each
stock as symbol not recognized. Would appreciate any ideas
or information. Thanks
