Hi all

Anyone else getting a problem refreshing their portfolio? I get '[Yahoo Finance]

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorised'

Hi Graham,

Yes, I've been hearing reports of this from users in the UK and India.
Try disabling authentication for now.

(1) Tools | Options | Data Provider
(2) Uncheck the "Use authentication" box

Please let us know if that fixes the issue.

That does indeed sort the problem out. Many thanks, Ravi, for a speedy
answer.

Excellent!

BTW it's possible the authenticated provider will magically start
working again so you may want to recheck the "Use authentication" box in
the future and see if it works.

The unauthenticated provider retrieves rudimentary information about a
security. The authenticated one provides the full suite of data.

Thanks Ravi,

Working again, with authentication. Phew!


You're a star,
