Hi Don:

Thanks for your message.

It looks like you used IBM as the ticker instead of blablabla. While I
have built workarounds to insure the ticker symbol is valid,
occasionally, a valid symbol will still fail. In this case, I have to
restart Excel to make a new query. Resume next does not solve the
problem.

I’ve uploaded the error message I get. I first used blablabla and then
IBM. The gif file is the IBM error.

To answer your question about why I do not use adjusted price, I’ve
uploaded another gif file which explain my logic:http://www.gingins.info/ibm.gif

Regards,

I use a different method with an an on error that doesn't have that
problem
strurl = "http://table.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=" & symbol

As to the adjusted price, you may find these useful
Yahoo uses proportionate adjustments meaning they calculate the
dividend as a percentage and removes the percentage for adjusting data
prior to ex-dividend. Yahoo's method is the industry standard.

If I use the "actual" close, then I *will* need to adjust the number
of owned shares for splits as they happened.
