David,
 
One of the fun things about integrating data from multiple vendors is that they use different symbols for the same index.  "!SPX" is the S&P500 index from Quotes Plus.

Good idea Rik, thanks. It looks like there is a difference in the way MSN codes tickers and Yahoo. IE Yahoo uses indexes with ^ in front of symbol and some symbols like .SP 500 is  ^GSPC in Yahoo and might be something else in MSN?
Is there an easy way to handle the indexes?
Thanks
Dave

Its now 2:10 PM EST and still no Friday historical data from yahoo is
available. Current data runs okay. Sure hope its fixed tonight. Historical
data download allows for errors, distributions, etc.  to be fixed. And I
would suppose ( speculation on my part) that if Friday's data is missing,
probably no updates have been completed since last Thursday. Just to
reiterate, this only applies to historic yahoo, not current yahoo.
