Hi, Kenneth.

>Hi all! -- I've got a project in the gestation stage that will need to get current stock prices and to look up stock symbols. Is there a web service out there that hosts this information? If not, is there some non-proprietary method for getting the information other than going to some place like E*Trade?

Good timing! Wait a couple weeks and read an article from Tom Bellmer in the February issue of UTMag. The article is about using XmlHttp, but the example code is exactly what you need.

Hope this helps,
