A.T.T. quotes (comes and goes)

Was an original owner of A.T.T., and sold it- but was still in Quicken- (this from year 2000)!

And bought SBC (since, renamed A.T.T, , Both these with Stock Symbol "T").

When program quote displayed, sometimes no price quote on "T", worse, when recorded dividends, had 2 sets of "A.T.&T in the file system!

Anyone else had this problem? Today deleted all transactions of the FIRST batch of ATT- will see if this takes care of this issue!

As information (and maybe IF you have similar problem might be advised- Got the price change for the day, the amounts correct, just this glitch). Anmd, I had 2 A.T.&Ts in the registry! as info, Jim

P.S. Also have more than a few stocks , in the registry , with (Name Changes, Bought out, Symbol Changes, ect., that continue to have to be waded thru , when wanting to to record dividends- any way to block these from the active stocks, when recording transactions , short of deleteing these no longer existing holdings?

When SBC bought the old, original, ATT, they changed their name to "att or at&t", not "ATT or AT&T".

I renamed my SBC account to SBC/ATT, and have had no confusion problems between the two. May be too late for you to do something like that, though.

Thanks-- wondered about it- only 2 transactions in the first att (buy and Sell) and so old, deleted them and caused no value diff on the accounts totals, but wondered if others has similar.

Also had Frontier comm (was laid waste to global xing fraud- then obtained "Citizens Communication" Which changed it's name to (Guess What), as well as stock symbol! Such confusion happens again and again (tho deleted old worldcom, and seems to work fine ( Frontier 's old and the new symbol were (and is now ( FRO) ! now you know why confusing! Jim

One thing you could have done before you downloaded anything for the new "T", was to change the ticker for the old ATT to something else, say X-T, or some such (and make sure your Quicken security name for the old ATT was not the same as the new name - you could have named the old ATT, "old ATT", for example). Then when the new at&t with the symbol "T" began downloading, its transactions and prices would have been clearly separate from the old security ... and there'd have been no need to delete the old transactions.
