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? Jim

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.
