Howdy,
As you may recall, Bob Scott maintains a "splits" file (CorpActs.UNF) that's more comprehensive than the Quote.com version, especially concerning BB: stocks. A CorpActs.UNF will override, trump the regular CorpActs.INF file supplied by the servers.
To facilitate getting the UNF automatically when updated by Bob, QFAI has a CorpActs update checker and download function. Some folks have chosen to not use the function due to the way YahooGroups requires a login every 24 hours. This interrupts QFAI, and the user has to then login to YahooGroups, since the file has been located at QCharts YahooGroups Files area.
The login hassle has been solved thanks to the generosity of Bill Bledsoe.
He has agreed to host the CorpActs.UNF splits file at his website.
Thanks Bill !!!
A file in your QFAI folder needs to be updated in order for QFAI to do the checking for new updates and perform the download of Bob's CorpActs.UNF from Bill's site.
Do a Right Click>SaveTargetAs HERE and download this UNF-URL.txt file.
Replace the existing file in your QFAI folder with this file.
If not already ON, set the UNF splits function ON in QFAI if you wish to use Bob's splits file.
In any event, do the update of the UNF-URL.txt file in your QFAI folder whether or not you plan on using the CorpActs function at this time. You may change your mind in the future, and this post will be long gone from your memory.
FYI for newbie's or folks unaware of QFAI, review This
