Accessing fund information online: problem 2/3

[Claus A. Schumann]

Hello!

I've run into problems when setting up GnuCash and cannot solve them 
myself. I have already tried searching on my own and posting on the 
german users mailing list but without much success. The questions are in 
regard of a WindowsXP/2.2.4 System and I'll try to separate them so that 
each gets its own post.

The general idea is to have subaccounts for some DEKA funds and - if all 
goes well - to have both the price and the shares updated online.

So far I've managed to set up appropriate accounts, install perl and 
have a regular share (AMZN and IBM) update automatically. This second 
post is about accessing the funds online


Installation went by the book and checking with amazon or ibm shares, I 
am able to update without any problems. As soon as I get to funds, 
things change. I set up:

full name: DekaFonds
symbol: 847450
typ: FUND
code: DEKA-CL
smallest unit: 1/10000

I've tried all pre-installed online sources for updates on the price, 
but none works. As far as I can see, yahoo does not give fund 
information and even the source saying "deka" is not providing prices. 
The questions would be:

Is my set up of the fund wrong? I've played around with exchanging 
symbol and code but am not totally sure what is supposed to go where.

Does setting it as FUND instead of SHARE have any impact on the ability 
to update online?

I've found a news post from 2007 saying "deka" as data source changed 
its structure and might no longer work. If thats the case, do you know 
any source for prices for this fund which is sure to work? So that I 
could limit the area in which I need to look for the problem.


Again, any help would be appreciated. Even if you could just tell me 
where to look...

Best regards,
    Claus Schumann
