The SEPARATOR consist of three dashes ---
The ENDOFLINE marker consist of an asterix character '*'
The VOLUME value needs to be Volume/100

Example only: 
AMC,14.7, ---, 23/05/2019,---,14.47,14.55,2214918,*

Notes:

Thanks for this. Does this mean that all users of Reckon 2022 will not be able to Download Historical Prices or is there somethng peculiar with my configuration?

Further to this when I used this online as a test:

ANR,0.039,---,28/03/24,---,0.042,0.035,128557,*

also

ANR,0.039,---,28/03/2024,---,0.042,0.035,128557,*

and set the date to 28/3/24

I get:

I can now report that thje problem was simple to solve; there was carriage reurn/new line in the file. All is good now.

However, it is important for me to know whether Diwnload Historical Prices is permanently broken for everyone and, if so, will it be fixed?

If it is peculiar to my configuration, please advise why.

Thank you for sharing your findings to resolve the issue with the import.

For the other enquiry relating to download of historical prices, using the Sample file we can see that the historical prices are only picking up US Securities as indicated in the screen.

There is no preference or other setting to enable it for Australian securities historical prices.
