That worked perfectly. Thank you. Your brief instruction should be added to the GnuCash help manual.

Re: [GNC] Get Quotes under Ver 4.14 v 5.0 or 5.1 or 5.2 or 5.3
It's a perl script - basically a text file which you can open with Notepad if you want to look at the contents. Run it in a command prompt window using perl as follows - perl "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update" - you need double quotes around the file path as it contains a space.

Re: [GNC] Get Quotes under Ver 4.14 v 5.0 or 5.1 or 5.2 or 5.3
Ok, from searching around it appears your suggestion is indeed what I need to do, eg run gnc-fq-update. In the gnucash bin directory I see a file with that name, but how on earth do I run it? It appears to just be a text file. Also, when I go to the start menu, there is no longer a folder for gnucash, just the main program app so no program in there w that name, so that's not helpful. I've looked in the gnucash documentation, but that provides no info as to how to run/execute that file.

Steve, Try running C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-update, I seem to recall that fixed it for me on Windows when I initially went to version 5.0. Cheers David H.
