Price editor not working

[Chris Good]

Hi Harry,

I assume you're talking about stock quotes not being able to be retrieved over the internet, not the price editor not working.

IMHO, While this may work for you in the short term, in the long term, the difference between your registry and what's on your hard disk may mean you will have problems in the future, maybe even forcing a complete windows reinstall.

Regards,

Chris Good
