msn money stock quotes : mystery

For the moment , the webquery for msn money works ... a little bit.

what i do not understand is if you ask the quote for, say   BE:TIG (tigenix, brussels) , sometimes i get the price , but most of the time MSN money gives me the price of "Innovation Group (The) PLC" in London .

How can that be explained ?

If I google BE:TIG I mostly get the stock of the Innovation group.

You should try an alternative ID of Tigenix, Brussels, e.g. WKN or ISIN:

BE0003864817

didn't know you could use the ISIN-code in webquery . many thanks.

and do you by coincidence know how to get the currency exchange quotes in msn  webquery ?

in the past , this worked, EU/USD , but not anymore

using the isin-code causes other problems i see :

f.i. CMB in brussels has isin BE0003817344

but if i use this in a webquery , msn money gives me the price of CMB on the OTC market ... but i want the price in brussels ....

can this be solved ?

To be honest, It was a "best guess" to go with the ISIN. The question is, whether you can find an unique identifier for your query, which a) shows the right stock and b) at the right trading place. I'm not a broker, but I'm sure that there must be some flag for the respective stock exchange.
