<p>If you want any real help, you need to cooperate and give us some
information we can follow up on. Which sources have you tried (at
least one example) and what stock symbol? Without that, we don't
know if your particular problem is the same as anyone else's. If
you read through all the treads mentioned, you would have a better
understanding of why this is so hard. You are correct that it
really should not be so hard, but because every source provides
their data in different formats, and they change those formats at
will and with no announcement, it IS difficult to keep up with all
those changes. In addition, the design of the KMM price update
process makes it hard to automatically push such changes, even if
we know about them, without possibly needing some manual
intervention from the user.</p>
<p>The basic reason it has gone from almost always working to the
current state is that most/all of the sources have accelerated the
rate at which they make changes to their web sites, possibly
because of the increase in use. If you look at the web site, you
see their ads. If KMM downloads the data, nobody sees the ads.
They want you to see the ads, so they change the format.</p>
<p>Again, if you want to make it work, you need to give us a
concrete example of an attempt that failed for you.</p>
<p>In my own case, I have had recent luck using the Finance::Quote
(there is a checkbox on the stock's final configuration page). If
you check that box, then the "sources" dropdown is filled with the
F::Q sources. I have had luck selecting yahoo_json from that
list.</p>

What source are you using for the updates? As Thomas said,
some sites, <br clear="none">
such as Yahoo, have simply stopped providing that service,
so it simply <br clear="none">
won't work, and there is nothing KMyMoney can do about it.
Some have <br clear="none">
changed the format of what they provide, so we might be able
to adjust <br clear="none">
the settings for that source, but we would need to know
which source. <br clear="none">
Did you look through the forum as Thomas suggested? In
terms of errors <br clear="none">

that on <br clear="none">
console or in a pop-up?<br clear="none">
