I'm using Mike Bray's Quote Loader app. (I'm using 2123) Thanks for making this available -- it's great! I'm having trouble with one thing. When I set it up, I incorrectly entered one ticker name. I've been unable to find a way to correct it. Please let me know how I can fix this. Thanks a lot.

    I am not support staff, just a user.

    Try TOOLS – SECURITIES highlight double click on security in question – EDIT change the symbol in the Ticker Symbol Window.

    Glad you are finding the Quote Loader useful

    There have been some small updates since 2123 now 2125 see http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/3771-third-par...

    Hope this helps.

    I'm a fellow user.

    We had some discussions on the tickers during development of the tool. It was decided that the best option and the one most consistent with how moneydance works was to take the ticker symbols from Moneydance itself rather than having them separate in the extension The tool takes these symbols and then appends whatever data is needed by the source being used on the fly so you do not have to worry about setting up symbols specifically for the source you are using and can easily switch if desired.

    That makes a lot of sense. When I first started using the app many months ago, it had been necessary to manually input the tickers. When I recently upgraded to the new system, I assumed the tickers were drawn from the prior version, rather than from Moneydance. That was the source of my confusion.

    I really like the upgraded app! Thanks for making it available..
