I cannot find in MD where I can import historical prices for a security. Where is it?

    I assume you mean from a CSV file.

    Menu option Tools => Securities.

    Double Click on the security in question

    Click on the Import button.

    Or download, install and use the Security History Loader extension (securityhistoryload.mxt) from:

    Thanks. I just couldn't remember where that option was. I really appreciate it. The extension you referenced didn't work because it wouldn't do anything unless I specified a Ticker Field. I even tried the REMOVE option but I keep getting "Ticker, Date, and Price must be selected." Date and Price are already selected, ticker cannot be as it is not in the downloaded file.

    Which method to use can be influenced by what data you have.

    The history loader has the provision to load many stocks from the one file so a ticker is required.

    The ticker is also required because you are using an extension at the Moneydance level, there is no stock selected, so it has to be in the CSV file you load.

    I understand but ifa there is only one security downloaded, there is no ticker anywhere in the file.

    In that case the inbuilt importer is the tool to use.

    There are three tools that can load prices from CSV files, two tools that can be used to enter prices manually, and the two extensions for automatic quotes retrieval.

    You use what makes sense for you and the situation.
