Hi Glenn,

Unfortunately, I don't have any good answer for this... The "Scale Prices..." command is probably the best for now. I can see this being a useful feature, where you have the retrieved prices multiplied by some factor. There is already an option to "invert" the retrieved prices, so a multiplication factor would be similar.

Thanks,
Mark
