OK, the only other time I recall a user getting that message it was from an invalid symbol. Unfortunately I don't know of a quicker way to find it than by opening each security in turn and disabling online quotes for it, then trying again. That can be quite tedious if you have a lot of securities, so let's first make sure that FQ works: Create a new file and in it create a single security, something well-known like GE or AAPL. Set it to get online quotes from Yahoo and save. Run Get Quotes in the price editor and see if that works.
