Thanks for your comments John and Eric. I have again reviewed the gnucash help documentation and cannot see where I am going wrong. In addition to having installed Online Price Retrieval and entered my API key, I have now also double checked that the "use trading accounts" option is checked which it is.
In the price database window the currencies I use are listed. There is an option to delete all previous prices but I presume I don't want to do that as they record the currency exchange rates used for each of my past transactions. I am beginning to think I must take a backward step and use manual price entry ... where am I going wrong, when I used to be able to use the automatic option and all seems to be set up as before? All help gratefully received. -- Samantha Payn On 16 July 2020 11:38 [1][email protected] wrote: Send gnucash-user mailing list submissions to [2][email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit [3]https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [4][email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [5][email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of gnucash-user digest..."

I have successfully used Gnucash for a couple of years for multicurrency invoice processing using the Strawberry perl plug in (by clicking on Install online price retrieval in the Gnucash section of the start menu) and an #Alpha Vantage access key. I use Windows 10. Recently I had to upgrade my hardware and since installing gnucash on the new machine I've not been able to make the price retrieval work. I have tried installing gnucash, adding the API key, and then adding Strawberry perl; and I have tried uninstalling everything and then installing gnucash, adding Strawberry perl and then adding the API key. No joy. Where am I going wrong? All help gratefully received. Thanks. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2020 09:39:43 -0700 From: Jean Laroche < [10][email protected]> To: [11][email protected] Subject: Re: [GNC] Reconcile also opens Interest Payment box? Message-ID: < [12][email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed I'd like a preference somewhere to activate/inactivate the Interest Payment pop-up appearing automatically on an account by account basis. I'd like the "Enter Interest Payment ..." button to remain as I have used it a couple of times, but that when it has been used it won't then mean it appears automatically the next time, which would remove the need for the "No Automatic Interest Payment" button. Just my two penny worth. Alan A Holmes BTW, that's exactly what the current Pull Request implements: per account option, and the option isn't set silently if you decide to click "enter interest payment". [13]https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/753 I think it's a reasonable compromise that keeps the feature around, but much better behaved. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2020 17:44:33 +0100 From: Eric Coates < [14][email protected]> To: [15][email protected] Subject: Re: [GNC] Difficulty with online price retrieval Message-ID: < [16][email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed A few days ago it was reported that AlphaVantage was no longer serving price information (something to do with them not having the appropriate licences apparently). The general advice seems to be use Yahoo as JSON? which works fine for me perhaps it would for you.

The Print dialog shows an empty box with no printers, the Print button is greyed out. The ?Page Setup? dialog from the File menu, next to ?Format,? shows only ?Any Printer for Portable Documents? and a printer cannot be chosen from there. All this works fine in 3.8, with the same file. I rarely print, so hadn?t noticed this until now, but after 2 days the light hasn?t dawned on me; feels like I?m missing something obvious. Thank you for any suggestions.

To get quotes for a UK fund, I switch on Get Online Quotes, select Multiple sources, scroll down to the bottom of the list of sources, and select "U.K. Funds ...". So far so good. Three mouse clicks and one scroll-down is not bad, if you only do it once for a single fund. Sometimes I switch it off temporarily, to make it easier to troubleshoot problems getting quotes for other stocks and funds. The problem is, when the troubleshooting is over and I switch it on again, it comes on with the default settings (Single source Alphavantage), so I have to reselect Multiple / U.K. Funds. It's not a big problem. It's just tedious when there are a lot of funds to do. It would be much easier if I could simply toggle on/off without changing settings. I suppose an alternative could be to leave it on all the time instead of toggling off/on, but then each troubleshooting test would build up another set of unwanted prices in the price database. I have tried to look for an answer online, but failed, so hope someone can help.
