Norman, Glad to help. In the future, be sure to ?Reply All? so that your message gets back to the list. That way, everyone gets to hear the denouement.

If you *run* ?FinanceQuote Update,? it will ? update Finance Quote for you.

From the resulting hullaballoo, F::Q changed primary quote providers, either to AlphaVantage or to Yahoo! Json. You will need to reset your commodities each to use a currently-valid source.

The (main?) F::Q maintainer Erik Colson has said he no longer has time and asked for volunteers to take over. A couple of months ago (I think) some-one did volunteer but I haven't seen any progress yet. As it has been a while, it is possible my latest fix no longer works either. I haven't tested the ASX lately as there are 2 alternatives: 1) Yahoo_JSON 2) AlphaVantage (you may need to put a sleep into the perl code if you have many stocks). If you are still interested in modifying F::Q: a) You will need to program in perl (you must know that already but I'm saying this for others) and know a little about html. b) The git repository is here: [2] There is some useful info in the README.md at the bottom of this page.
