Hello  Joel,

I haven't looked at the code, so I can't say exactly what is supposed  
to happen, but I have never succeeded in pulling any more than the  
single most recent price for any stock, no matter what dates I enter.

Are you aware you can see all prices KMM has for a given stock?  Under  
Tools/Prices, enter a search term for the stock you want (name or  
symbol) and then check the "Show all stored prices"   This will show  
the currency, date, price, and source used for each entry.
