Hello Barry Scarborough,
Clearing out my backmail and saw your question.
The Yahoo site is a patchwork.
What you see isn't always what you get.
The historical data at the Yahoo site is not adjusted except for the
ajdClsoe column but that it not what AmiQuote downloads (inour charts
the adjClose would be outside the bar range if OHLC was not adjusted
as well).
Scroll back through Agilent historical (at Yahoo) to 1st/Nov/06
dividend then compare to what we have in AmiBroker for that date and
the date preceding.
Some info on Yahoo adjustments is at:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/quotes/quote-12.html
(pity that the link to the standards center is down).
