First, you should have specified that this problem is with updating 
prices with Yahoo.  As  has been discussed previously on this list and  
elsewhere, Yahoo made some changes.  There is not much we can do about 
this, although the development team is certainly looking for an easier 
way to adjust for existing instances.  At this point, you can change the 
"v7" to "v6" in the definition.  I do not have any idea why the "New" 
button is disabled, but will try to see if I can find any possible reasons.
