Problems again updating investment prices

Post by swi$$alps »

Just like about one year ago, it is no longer possible to download and update investment prices. The error message is as follows:

"Internet connection error or invalid investment symbol."

The last time that I attempted to update was on May 8th and it was successful. Today, May 13th, is the first time I've tries since then with unsuccessful results!

The version of AceMoney in use is the lastest available 4.36.4.0. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Yes, there is a problem with downloading prices via Yahoo. MechCAD is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.

Using the new version, updating Investments via Yahoo works fine for me. I have noticed a few people report that Exchange Rates are not working, though. Is that the problem you are having? Or are you having trouble with Investments?
