QPnf doesn't work for Yahoo mutual funds because the format of the mutual fund data is not the same as the format for stock data and I've not got around to making it work for both since I don't pay any attention whatsoever to mutual funds. You can load the data yourself by downloading the file using the "Download spreadsheet format" link and modifying it in excel to be in the format: date,open,high,low,close,volume where date is in the form MM/DD/YYYY e.g. 05/30/2000. For mutual fund data, all you have is the close, so you can put 0 for the open, high, low, and volume. You will load the file into QPnf by typing file://c:/data/vpmcx.csv in the symbol box (if you saved the file in c:\data\vpmcx.csv). Make sure you choose "close" in the Price Field in the Chart Parameters. -Atin
