The "wish list" is not the correct place to report the problem. Real
problems should be submitted to Support.

Have documented and submitted the fact the AmiQuote is retrieving
incorrect data into AB.....guess it goes into the infamous "Wish
List". I had thought more people than myself were using Yahoo
fundamental data, guess not. Thanks all for your suggestions.

case it is about 5% of the tickers in my database. From the response
to this thread, I am guessing not many people use fundamental fields
in AB. Or perhaps they use fundamental fields but they don't use yahoo
as data source! If there would have been a big uproar TJ would have
fixed it by now.

is a difference in the type of data that is downloaded between basic
and extended modes. For example, one of the differences that you note
is the 'current dividend'. This is the annual dividend/share which
basic downloads as 'Dividend Per Share' and is correctly shown as
$1.92 for KYN. According to the same AQ literature 'Dividend Per
Share' is not included in the extended download so the download
correctly shows nothing for this category.

Basic and Fundamental info and the same errors exist in AB. Here is an
example of "some" fundamental info for just one ticker KYN... there
are many such data descripencies problems that can be found:
