  1. Thank you for developing this extension. I have spent the better part of my day trying to make one function to work. I even copy and paste your example. But I could not make 1 call to update 2 symbols. I read and reread your user's manual. I just wonder if my Win7, 64 bit is the culprit here as I have the latest OO release.

  2. Hi!

    With this extension, is it possible to obtain information from Yahoo Currency Converter? I have a spreadsheet with a list of prices in USD, EUR and GBP, and need to convert them to COP all the days.

    Thanks!

  4. Many thanks for a great extension- it's just what I need.

    Although it works fine for stocks and exchange rates it doe not work for 'mutual funds', e.g.:

  5. I tried to install on my XP desktop. But when I did, I get the "Could not create Java implementation loader" error. I followed the instructions in Troubleshooting, but find that two later versions are there (1.6 v22 & 24, I think) I tried both, but still get the error. Any other suggestions?

  6. in previos message, that should be Java 6 v 22, 24. I installed 25 and I still get the error message, so can't get Getquote to work with XP.

  7. The only help I can offer with installation issues is to:

    1. Make sure some java version is enabled (The ones you mention should be fine)

    2. Uninstall all versions of the extension

    3. Close all Open Office applications (log off or reboot to make sure)

    4. Reinstall the extension

    GETQUOTE works just fine but when I save the spreadsheet and then reopen, GETQUOTE is replaced with GETHISTORY....Ver 1.0 did not have this problem but now I cannot find the older version....Help!

    1. I've discovered that saving in XLS format instead of ODT is the problem.
