[GNC] Strange Problem

[David Carlson]

Les,

As John points out, you can use the Add button to enter a price even if the
security has no prices displayed already.  In fact, this is a freeform
entry where you can manually enter prices for any security or currency in
any currency, whether you have or have not set up a security account in
your chart of accounts.  Conversely, if you have set up online retrieval
for a security and that retrieval has succeeded in obtaining a price, then
you will be able to find it in the Price Database display, again even if
you do not have a security account set up in your chart of accounts.
