1) The 1.0.3.b .msi does indeed uninstall the old version on its own, which explains why no acknowledgement window appears for a 1½ minutes after opening. If there is an option to present a window stating that an uninstall is in process, that would be better. Sorry, I didn't know you preferred the zip file install.

2) Now I see why you question my Grouping suggestion. By clicking on Manual, I was able to select, using [ctrl]Enter, the securities I wanted quoted and the ini file confirms that only those were submitted to Yahoo for quotes. Is this a proper method?

4) Ditto for the Python quote source, which did produce the desired quoteCSVpy.csv file, but the quotes aren't reflected in PalOMoney's Portfolio screen. Is my assumption correct that external quote sources (like Python) should show up there? Or is it because I selected Manual updates?

Thank you for discovering this obscure bug. The key was the "Could not open engine, error 80040154" display in the command prompt window, but not in the log file. I didn't realize that MoneyPal had never worked for you. A new version of MoneyPal will be available...

In answer to your question "Let's fix this. Does setting the Portfolio Online Status selector to Valid Online suppress the unwanted securities?" the answer is Yes, because apparently I toggled them to Manual as discussed before and can't toggle them back.Quote

I don't know. I was unaware that Ctrl+Enter selection had any effect. The code just loops through the Windows list control, and pulls what look like valid symbols from the Symbol column, and, if not empty(), adds them to the list. If a selection mechanism suppresses unselected entries from a list somehow, I need to learn about this. Here, after selecting 3 securities and hitting Update Now, all the securities were updated. More later.
Let's fix this. Does setting the Portfolio Online Status selector to Valid Online suppress the unwanted securities? If not, there is something (the account number) hidden in your symbol fields, possibly hidden with an initial CRLF (carriage return or line feed) or tab. This has fooled me many times. On the other hand, if there were a CRLF hidden, it would not be removed, and make it to (and ruin) the list, so that's not it. I wonder what could make the contents of the Symbol column invisible?
It looks like we have to add code to 1) display something visible if the Symbol field is not empty() and 2) check to see if an empty() Symbol field contains invalid characters before just adding it to the ticker list (although your list included what would be visible numbers). Complicated. Maybe we can display "(empty)" for empty fields.
Also, the "Toggle" update method enhancement is being escalated. This will include the UI to toggle securities Online Quotes field on and off, and, perhaps, a filter in the ticker list creation method to look at that field (which is ignored). This would mean that any security with the field false would not be in the ticker request list, which is logical and easily explained. We could also add a selection mechanism, like you mentioned.

2013-02-19_18-14-35=Error 800a1390 finding ^IXIC in Money.That message indicates that MoneyPal cannot find an "Online Quotes" price for that symbol in the money file. This is a normal message for a new ticker that has never had online quotes.

This is what I did:
Set the Portfolio Online Status selector to "Manual." The list displays only those securities for which I cannot get online quotes.
Clicked on a security in the list.
Pressed Ctrl+Enter. Nothing happened here.

I agree, but it seems to me that after I hit Update then the Status changed to Manual for the selected securities.
(I'm not positive though, perhaps they had already been set to Manual prior to my experimentation.)
