No Share Price Download for 10 – 16 July 2015

Legacy KB ID: 5317

Question

Why couldn’t I download share prices from the 10th to the 16th of July 2015?  Although I can download share prices now I am missing data for those days.

 

Answer

The Share Price Download service experienced difficulties on those days and in the process data files for those days were not received.

Reckon apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

 

We have been able to restore some data for these days – the Closing Price.  Please follow the steps below to import this data into your Reckon Accounts Personal database.

3.    Make a backup of your datafile: File > Backup

4.    Download the share price data and save to your C:\SPD folder. 

a.    Click on each link to download the share prices for those days;
