I have been having a problem that may have still been there in Q2004. When my investment account downloads a new security, Quicken crashes when I try to add it. The workaround has been that I would first go into the securities list and add the new security. Then it is no longer a new security when I process the downloaded investment account.
However, I cannot do it with the renaming of SBC to AT&T INC COM. The company changed its name but not its symbol. The program dies when I try to add AT&T INC COM through the download dialog. The program dies when I try to select Southwest Bell (the defaults, since the symbol is still SBC) through the download dialog. The program dies when I try to rename the name of Southwest Bell to AT&T INC COM keeping symbol. SBC in the securities list. The program refuses to add name AT&T with symbol SBC while there is still name Southwest Bell with symbol SBC. I still have AT & T CORP with symbol T for historical purposes. I guess I could try deleting that, but the suggest name of the new security is AT&T INC COM. Also, I try deleting the name of Southwest Bell with symbol SBC first won't I loose my history?
Any suggestions much appreciated. ...Ron Young
