Unable to delete security nemo 02-05-2007

Q 2007, WXP. I have a security shown as SEC_1 that I cannot delete. When I
create a report for transactions in that security, there are none. How can I
get rid of it other than just hiding it?

What happens exactly when you try to delete it?

Do you have any hidden Quicken investment accounts?

When I try to delete from the Securities tab, it gives me the usual message
that I cannot delete it because it was used in a transaction. A Transaction
Report can find no transaction in that security. No, I have no hidden
accounts. The name, SEC_1, isn't the name of a real security, either.
Validate hasn't helped either.

Yes, I know it's not the name of a real security. I believe the
name was created by Quicken in either a Validate or a
conversion, where the original name was corrupted.

If there are truly no transactions for SEC_1, I don't hold out a
lot of hope for your being able to delete it ... unless you can
revert to the version of Quicken (or the Quicken data set) where
the original corruption existed. In most of the few cases
involving SEC_1 that were "solved" that I have read about, there
were still transactions existing involving SEC_1: deleting those
transactions permitted the deleting of SEC_1.

Have you ever had transactions in your data for a security, then
deleted all the transactions for that security. And when I say
"deleted" transactions, I mean by deleting transactions
individually, or by doing some "year end copy" or some such,
which did a mass delete of transactions?

No, I have kept all transactions from way back. I "hide" the inactive
securities. I guess I'll have to do that with SEC-1. Thanks for your help.
