Has anybody tried incorporating the stock market closing levels or current levels in a report. Is there a way to get this from an outside source automatically?

It's called Web Services and requires an additional license. In a nutshell, you generate a Master File that describes the results of the web service to be consumed and then reference that MFD as any other data source. It's more complicated than that, but there's a place to start. Web Services are described fully in the documentation.

Thanks for the reply.
I looked into Web Services but we will consider it as an alternative for now.
One of our Java developers believe he can acquire the information from a major website like MSN for free. We will try that route for now and see if it provides the information we need.
