stock symbol mix-up

I have Q 2006 Premier and I am having a problem with two stocks. I sold 400 shrs of Dell some time ago and around the same time I bought

400shrs of RDY. Quicken keeps reinstating the 400 of Dell and deleting the 400 of RDY via placeholder entries. I think I may have discovered why this is happening: Although in the portfolio view and the edit security view the stock symbol for dell shows up as "DELL", the Online Center shows the ticker symbol for Dell as "RDY". Anyone know how I can edit this symbol in the Online Center or otherwise fix this problem?

It may be I caused this problem when I originally downloaded the transaction from the institution and quicken asked whether or not the new stock was the same as a previous entry an I erroneously clicked yes...otherwise I have no idea how this happened.

Thanks!

Yup, that's how it happened.

Edit both securities in the Security List and uncheck the box "Matched with online security". Next time you get asked about whether the downloaded security is new or existing, make sure you select the correct security.

It worked. Be assured that I will pay better attention. Obviously it does not pay to do transactions in a post-work stupor.

Thanks a bunch.
