How can I automatically update stock prices?

LSI

I have a spread sheet tempate that I made where I write down my daily stock
transactions. For each position I have in inventory I show the closing
price, the quantity and the cost. I would like to be able to get or create a
function that each time I open the sheet I could login to say a MMoney file
or my broke and update the current price for each security. Does anyone do
this or know how to do it?

Don,

Thanks for the prompt answer. I found the file but in some respects I'm a
neophyte. After I downloaded it and fixed my security settings to get it I
get a visual basic error message, "run-time error 1004." Saying, "the
internet site reports that the item you requested could not be found.
(HTTP/1.0 404)"

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

In groups.yahoo.com/xltraders/files/ something called "Download
Quotes.XLS" I'm using office 2003.

download quotes is NOT my file and I wouldn't use that method. However, I
downloaded and changed the symbols to ibm, msft, t and it worked for me.

look for files with an author of donalb36.
GetYahooMultipleHistory97a_P.xls
Yahoo History & Graph 111 KB donaldb36
YahooMultipleQuotes.xls
YahooMultipleQuotes 41 KB donaldb36

Thank you. I downloaded your file, "YahooMultipleHistory97a_P.xls," and it
works perfectly.

As I said, glad you like it, BUT the other one would be better for your
ORIGINAL question.

Don,
I downloaded YahooMultipleQuotes.xls and I love it! I tried to look at the
VB code so I could see how it's working and it's password protected. Is
there any way I can look at he VB code?
Thanks
