Geoff - you little beauty bottler!!! YAY! it worked. I assume you edited the results to the bare minimum in your instructions?
I am glad that my issue could be reproduced but sad that it requires a fix! I could not decide whether I had to add all 3 installation commands at once or one at a time and tried first off all 3 at once... ====>>> >cpanm install Module::CPANTS::Analyse --force 2 distributions installed ====>>> >cpanm install Test::Kwalitee 1 distribution installed ====>>> cpanm install Finance::Quote [which I had to start with an 'enter' 24 distributions installed So, "install Finance::Quote" was different to your results as your example indicated "1 distribution installed" rather than the 24 distributions I had. I used Tools/Security Edit to check that I could select the investments. No errors reported this time around and the 'Get Online Quotes' was selectable, which I did, and then Multiple/ASX. I ran the Get Quotes and there they were! However, I did receive some error messages as though the stock was not available on the ASX list to be updated, but that is an issue for another thread! Many thanks to you, and to Stephen, as I am now more comfortable using GnuCash... No doubt you will see me back on the threads with another curly Australian-based query! And to R.Losey for their comments. I am finding it easier to navigate through the morass of memories of Quicken and translating those memories to my efforts of learning the many benefits of GnuCash! Not having to do that currency translation through PayPal is helping immensely!
