Microsoft Money Online Stock Prices Updates Stop Working

Since early August 2012 Microsoft Money Stock/Share/Fund Prices have stopped updating in the UK. Updates had stopped for the US some time ago. It reports 'your call was successful' but there are no new prices for funds in your portfolio.

As of September it appears that online share price updates for Microsoft Money have restarted for some versions but fund prices have not. Other versions of Microsoft Money such as Money 2000/2001/2002/2003 are now getting an error "Money was unable to connect to online prices server"

There is a later sunset version of Microsoft Money that is still working with the fund & share price updates that was released when Microsoft stopped supporting Money. This can still be downloaded from the direct link below on the MS website. The download search doesn't work and just creates a loop looking for the file.

I've tested this and it automatically upgrades the Money 2000 Professional and Business file to the latest version and then updates the online share & fund prices correctly for you.

You can download Microsoft Money 2005 QFE from this link. This is a UK version, the USA sunset version can be found on the Microsoft website.

Versions of Microsoft Money that appear to have this error downloading fund and share prices are:

Microsoft Money 1999
Microsoft Money 2000
Microsoft Money 2001
Microsoft Money 2002
Microsoft Money 2003
Microsoft Money 2004

Why is microsoft money not updating fund prices?

    Oddly enough, my installation of Money 2005 stopped working on 1st July 2013. Funds are still being update, just not share prices. I'll try the download link.

      Thanks for the post. My Money stopped updating this week. I just installed the Sunset version, (from my Money Deluxe 2005), but same problem. The update server must not be functioning. Hopefully the server will get fixed and the updates will magically start up again. I guess I'm just used to looking at all these reports and I like this program and don't want to move on.

    My version 14.0 dated 2004 has also stopped on 1 July. Are any solutions available?

      There's now an option added at the top of the blog post showing a former Microsoft developer who has created a replacement for loading prices into MS Money again. I've tested and it works very well.
