: Hi, I am trialing this software to see if it fits my need. When importing new historical price data is it possible to specify both the ticker symbol and name of the investment. I wouldn't want to manually edit each imported investment due to the volume involved. I am planning to use FM as a basic charting and portfolio tool. Any help or suggestion appreciated.

Hi Michael,

You cannot import the 'Name' field when using the generic price import. You can however import both the name and symbol when using the generic transaction import. See the "NAME" and "SYMBOL" keywords for the import format string.

Thanks,
Mark
