I am coming in late on this and may have missed something.  Sounds like a 
similar situation I was having while trying to enter a transaction on a 
new fund.  The cure in my case was to use Tools - Price Editor - Add - 
then select New Commodity - then use the Type button to set the type and 
use the New button to add the information.  Make sure you enter a value, 
date, etc. before clicking okay.  You should be able to use the function 
as expected after that.

Hope that proves helpful,
