On June 3 I did a corporate name change from MEMC Electronics (WFR) to SunE dison (SUNE). I changed the symbol on the Security List and Download Quotes was already checked there. However, the price does not update when I perfo rm a One Step Update or just get quotes. I seem to have lost all the price history for WFR, which is not so important as I do have the many prices I h ave paid for it and sold it over the last nine years.
Is there something I forgot to do in order to get updates for this stock.

My backup has a different name and symbol for this stock because the price updates stopped when I changed the name. So would I be able to restore the price history from a different stock name?
I think I will forget about doing it anyway becaue there is no reason that I really need these old prices. We, of course, do have all the prices on the days that we bought or sold lots of it, although not always the closing price, of course.

You're right that the ticker symbol matters in the process (but the security "name" doesn't).
I think you could still recover those prices if you wanted. The "QPH File Processor" outputs an ASCII file of prices (a .CSV file). I believe that .CSV file could be easily modified with Notepad, replacing all the old ticker symbol with the new ticker symbol ... then that .CSV file could be imported to Quicken.

if the ticker symbol changed then that is more than a name change and you should have set up under the new ticker and name and transferred the shares from the old

I transfered the shares by doing a corporate name change on June 3.
I wonder if I lost the price history because I choses the wrong option when it asked me how to handle the price history when I changed the symbol. The re were two options and I probably picked the wrong one. It also said that if I was not sure I should let Quicken make the decision. Maybe I should ha ve chosen that.
Although I told John that it is not so important that I have all the histor ical prices, I was wondering if there is any way to reinstate it with the o ld name and symbol and then do a corporate name change again, letting Quick en make the decision about what to do with the historical prices.
If this is not possible, I will just leave it the way it is now.
