Please do not apologise, John. I appreciate that you have other things
to do than help me :)
This is what I get (I substituted my API key for xxx):
PS C:\Users\User> $Env:ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY = "xxx"
PS C:\Users\User> '(currency "USD" "GBP")' | perl 'c:\Program Files

Thanks again for your time.

Sorry, yes, I got busy on other work.
#<eof> means that no quote information made it in to the code that
handles the quotes.
I can't reproduce the problem. Since you revealed your key I even used
that, worked fine:

It does occur to me the US markets are closed at 10:15 BST, but I
suppose that you also checked with gnc-fq-dump around the same time and
that worked OK.
There's one other thing to try in Powershell but it would be odd if
gnc-fq-dump works and this doesn't:
$Env:ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY = 'xxx'
'(currency "USD" "GBP")' | perl 'c:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin\gnc-fq-helper
Should produce something like
(("USD" (symbol . "USD") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2020-08-24 14:56:25")
(last . #e0.7658) (currency . "GBP")))

Samantha,
Run GnuCash from Powershell as you did before:
& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe' --log gnc.scm=debug
(The last time the command was & 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\bin\gnucash.exe' --log gnc.scm=debug --nofile but that
last command, --nofile, tells GnuCash to not open the previous data
file. Last time I didn't need to see anything from a data file and
starting GnuCash without one is faster. This time I do want you to have
access to your data file.)
This time edit an exchange rate on an existing multi-currency
transaction and use the Fetch Rate button to attempt to get an online
quote. Dismiss the error dialog, cancel the edit, and quit GnuCash.
Then list the log files
Get-ChildItem -Path $Env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Temp -filter
gnucash.trace.* | Sort-Object -Property Date
figure out which is the latest one (the guidance about that is still at
the bottom of the quoted text in this message if you've forgotten)
Display the contents
Get-Content
$Env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Temp\gnucash.trace.VEQEP0.log
(That's the file name from last time, you'll replace VEQEP0 with
whatever is in the latest file's name.)
And copy and paste them into a reply.

I am sorry John, do what?
I am afraid I just do not understand "Please run from the PowerShell
command line with the --log gnc.scm=debug option as before, try both a
Fetch Rate and a Get Quotes and paste in the contents of the resulting
log file."
I am such a beginner with the Powershell window stuff, all I can do is
copy/paste what you provide. This problem has been so drawn out that we
both lost sight of the fact that I had originally raised the issue over
"Fetch Rates" for foreign currency transactions in my business.
Yours apologetically

OK. Please do it when running GnuCash from Powershell with the --log

John, I am so sorry, I have slightly misled you. It is the "Fetch Rate"
button which returns the error message. I only use Gnucash for my
business accounts and have no need of the "Get Quotes" button.

Samantha,
Sorry, I lost that in the ensuing conversation about how to work
Powershell and got hung up on the previous no Get Rate button issue.
The Fetch Rate and Get Quotes buttons work a bit differently from each
other: The first looks only at the currencies involved in the
transaction you're entering and the latter tries to retrieve rates for
all of the currencies in your book. Can you try the Fetch Rate button?
You can do that most easily by editing the rate on a foreign currency
split. (Open a foreign currency transaction, put it in split view,
select a split in the "other" currency, right-click and pick Edit
Exchange Rate from the context menu. Note that which currency is the
"other" one depends on which account you started the transaction from
so it might be GBP if you created the transaction starting from an
account denominated in, say, EUR.)
Please run from the PowerShell command line with the --log
gnc.scm=debug option as before, try both a Fetch Rate and a Get Quotes
and paste in the contents of the resulting log file.

I'm afraid the problem has not been solved.
The Get Quotes button does light up (as I mentioned in an email to the
list just after I first reported the problem), but when I click it I
get an error window that says: "There was a system error while
retrieving the price quotes".
Thank you for your persisitance and continued support.

Good. It succeeded in finding Finance::Quote from the command line.
That should be sufficient to enable the Fetch Rate button. Was it
enabled?
