FRED Database - Series Not Found Error

I've got a workfile set up with various series from the FRED Database, but I'm having problems with one series in particular and can't seem to figure out why.

When I try to add the series baa to my workfile I get an error message saying that 'FRED::BAA was not found.' but I can open the series without a problem from within the database window.

Any insight into why this is occurring would be greatly appreciated.

Out of the 30,000 data series available from FRED, 6 are proprietary, and FRED won't let you download them into EViews. You've found one of the 6 :(
