Make sure your time zone and clock are correct on your system. Though if they weren't, I'd think more than one site wouldn't resolve correctly. If they are far off, you can get resolution errors like what you've seen. Regards, Adrien On 7/29/23 3:44 PM, AgedLace wrote: That didn't work for me

Also, verify that GnuCash is not running, then check to see if you have any files ending with a '.lck' extension in that data folder and delete those. (but reply back with their file names first) Regards, Adrien On 7/30/23 7:06 AM, Adrien Monteleone wrote: That means you have opened GnuCash w

Following up on that, since you're on macOS there's a diagnostic option that's not readily available on other platforms: 1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. Find GnuCash in the process list and select it. 2. Type a character in the description field of a new transaction to make Gn

Not really. That happens because sometimes you make or request prices in one direction and sometimes the other. The only case where it would matter is if one of them hadn't been updated in a while. The price-retrieval code looks first in the direction it wants, then in the other direction, then
