In the Message Box the following fails to retrieve data:
put url "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s ... FI&f=l1c1d"

By removing BOFI this one is successful:
put url "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s ... FI&f=l1c1d"

With BOFI by itself data retrieval is successful:
put url "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=BOFI&f=l1c1d"

I have used this method for getting stock data for months with out any problem until yesterday. Length is not a problem because I have had strings of symbols more than three times as long without any problems. Any ideas?

Regards,
Larry

Hi Larry,

this works

put url "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=MAIN+BAH+HCA+CBM+CBM+CBM+G+EVER+HCI+FNF+CFI+BOFI&f=l1c1d"

I have no idea why it works and if there are two CFI in it it works not.

Kind regards
Bernd
