Please log in for more thread options When high/lows are not downloaded, for some reason Quicken does not
calculate the daily $ or % change. If I go in and manually edit the price
to include a high/low (the same as the closing price) Quicken will calculate
the $ and % correctly.
An I the only person experiencing this?
