Les, As John points out, you can use the Add button to enter a price even if the security has no prices displayed already. In fact, this is a freeform entry where you can manually enter prices for any security or currency in any currency, whether you have or have not set up a security account in your chart of accounts. Conversely, if you have set up online retrieval for a security and that retrieval has succeeded in obtaining a price, then you will be able to find it in the Price Database display, again even if you do not have a security account set up in your chart of accounts.
