I am evaluating Moneydance. But When I am using Stock quote synchroniser i am not getting any update. (The message in the bottom bar is coming as 'updating' and then 'done')
For eg http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=KOTAKGO_a.NS
For this Fund I am entering KOTAKGO_a.NS in the ticker symbol but on updating nothing happens.

Thanks
Thomas

   Hi Thomas

   While yahoo provide quote information for this symbol they do not provide price history information for download. if you enter the following url into your browser for the symbol GOOG

   http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=goog&d=3&e=16&a...

   The yahoo service will return a csv file containg price history for the symbol. However when this is tried with the symbol you are having trouble with e.g.

   http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=KOTAKGO_a.NS&d=3&am...

   The yahoo service returns a not found error.

   I am sorry to say that at this time there is nothing we can do about this. We are looking into using a more complete sources of security price information and I do not have a time fram for when this might be implemented.

   I am sorry if this does not meet your needs.

   Sincerely

   Ben Spencer

   Dear Ben

   Thanks for your Reply. Eventhough the problem is not solved , I understood what is the problem. It seems that only some of the funds are having historical data in the yahoo finance.

   Thanks

   Thomas
