Thank you Barry, I can now get the update of $SPX. But I still cannot get the update of $VIX and some others such as $FVX, $TNX and $TYX. When I run the To-do-list, I have an error window, saying that "key cannot be null" Can you help to fix this? I enclose the log file for your reference. Thank you.

VIX should be updating, but it's a calculated version & looks different than what you're used to. $FVX, $TNX, & $TYX are not updating though. You can use the symbol TBX & TMV instead of $TNX & $TYX as it should mimic very closely. I'm not finding an alternative for $FVX, but I'm sure there is one.

You're welcome. It looks like TBX is similar to $FVX.
