The prices for the other securities may have been retrieved and remembered from an earlier time.
Prices only need to be retrieved once for that date for all entities.

Let's try to isolate the problem.
1) Look in the lastest price file(apr2.prn) and see what symbols were retrieved. In Navigator Access, select View |Price file. If this contain just the 34 symbols then only the prices for the 34 symbols were retrieved.

2) Or look in log file (wdci.log), select View | IDC Log File. This is a log of the communication. It will list the packet sent and retrieved for each symbol.

Also the location of the IDC price file(idc.prn) and IDC symbol file(symidc.prn) will be shown. If the path is incorrect then this could be the problem. If FN or Navigator Access has been installed in a different folder then the path needs to be corrected. Either reinstall Navigator Access in the FN folder. Or correct the path in the WDCI.ini file. Go into test mode of Navigator(Help |About NA & press letter "t"). Now on the View menu select WDCI Ini File. In the WDCI.ini file correct:
default_dir=C:\FN\
home_dir=C:\FN\
to be the path to the FN program folder.

Verify the input file and output files are:
inputfile=symidc.prn
outputfile=idc.prn
Note: these names may be incorrect if another version was installed directly from IDC.

I did two downloads in the last 5 days for prices 12/31/01 because I have added 70 new symbols. Both times the 'selected symbols' did not work. If the system remembers prior downloads for the same date, what good is 'selected symbols'?

2. Log file:
Log file Created: I:\FN\wdci.log
input file accessed: I:\FN\symidc.prn
executing - login - connected to -
greetings -
Deleted output file: I:\FN\idc.prn
file accessed: I:\FN\IDC.PRN
file accessed: I:\FN\SYMIDC.PRN
sending packet ....
but not the new symbols, an old file I retrieved 1/12/02

What was the path where the apr2.prn file did not exist? C:\FN or I:\FN?
Is FN installed in the I:\FN folder? This is where Navigator Access is looking for the files. It appears FN is running from a different folder.

Also looking in the WDCI.ini file as describe in the earlier post. Verify input & output file names and the home_dir & default_dir=I:\FN\

My guess is that FN is being run from the C:\fn folder and Navigator Access is looking for the files on the I:\FN folder. If FN was recently installed then reinstall it in the I:\FN folder.

Also make sure the shortcut when FN is started has the Target & Start in with the same path. Target = "C:\FN\fnwin80.exe" and the Start in = "C:\FN". If the start in is different then the default folder will be different and the files will be used from a different folder.
