    Ah, this trusty thread... 

    All has been well until the past few days. Quotes aren't coming through from MSN once more. Anyone else?

    Thanks for heads up.   Upside is it'll stop me seeing how much my shares have gone down 😅

    I gave up downloading prices from MSN Money some time ago.

    MSMoneyQuotes is still working for me, using prices downloaded from an FT.com watchlist.

    Ah good to hear ....I think I may have to revert to that one if its not fixed very shortly.  Now to refresh myself on the method but seem to recall it was a two step process involving saving a CSV file and then accessing that ....so a bit more convoluted.  Still at least a lot quicker than manually uploading 30+ prices.

    Same here, someone must have rebooted the server after Easter :)
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    And for me... after I spent some time yesterday getting the FT Watchlist import thing up and running - and recording my first ever Excel macro to re-format the quote dates. Oh well - I learnt some new stuff. Actually, setting up a Watchlist is quite useful, and OEIC prices come through so much more quickly than on MSN.
