I am trying to open an investment account but cannot manage to download quotes from the Yahoo financial website. I have ticked the downloads quote icon in the securities section but on entering the securities data no quotes are being downloaded. Can you help please? Thanks.

Enter Yahoo:FP.PA instead and it should work.

That worked. Thanks.
I have now tried to enter a different security in a new currency (in CHF rather than in EURO) and this is now not downloading quotes. What am I doing wrong?
Also, please, how do you unhide a security? I had ticked the hidden button but I cannot get this back now. Thanks

You have to check "Show hidden items" menu item in the "Window" menu. This way the security will be visible again and you can uncheck the hidden button.

Yahoo.NESN.VX

For Currency I wrote CHF (CHF).

It should be Yahoo:NESN.VX and not Yahoo.NESN.VX.
