Jayson:

 

Yep.   That is my standard
practice, and one I will continue to stay with.

 

I remembered the “type-it-in”
change and thought I would try it…that led to these messages.

 

Back to the old way.

Ken,





hmm, not a perfect solution, but perhaps
one to consider. In TC2000 can you export a watch list? if so then you can
import the whole list, pr any custom list for that matter, via the new
watchlist import feature. I just tried this in QP and it works like a charm.

Jayson:  I have to apologize and
amend my comments&#8230;I see that I can type in my gold stocks if I click on a
newly named watchlist, but I previously have to write the gold stock symbols on
a piece of paper because I can not see the list in the Sectors tree and at the
same time expose the Watchlist group&#8230;.and my memory is not good enough to
remember more than two symbols at a time.  <font size=2
color=navy face=Wingdings>L<span
>  plus there is a
lot of switching back and forth when there are a lot of symbols to move.

 

I think people asked for the type-in
feature and Tomasz gave it to them, but it would have been more convenient to
make it available on all lists in the tree &#8230;or better yet, modify the
Organize Assignments system so one can transfer symbols from Sectors to Groups
to Watchlists, etc.

 

AB is near perfect&#8230;but not quite all
the way there&#8230;..

Jayson:

 

Right you are but that is an almost worthless
feature then.

 

If I want to transfer symbols from one
watchlist to another, all I have to do is open &#8220;Organize
Assignments&#8221;, go to the Watchlist tab and move symbols from one watchlist
to another at will.  I do not need the type-in box in that case.

 

What I was trying to do was move symbols
from a GROUP to a Watchlist, something you can not do in Organize
Assignments.  It turns out that GOLD stocks (which I was interested in
moving into a watchlist) are buried two levels deep in the tree as read from the
TC2000 database.  There is no convenient way to get symbols from Group
lists into Watchlists.  I think the only methods are to do it one at a
time as I wound up doing.  I could not even do an explore, export and then
reimport for the reason that Gold stocks are two levels deep and I could not
explore on them.  There will probably be a response that I could have set
up some complex Group or sector ID search and find, but what I would like to
have seen was the type-in box appear for all symbols no matter where they were
located.

 

Thanks for the comment.

 

Ken

Ken,





Same here , but.... if you click on your
watchlist then follow the same procedure it works fine....

I expected a dialog box to appear to allow me to

nothing.

What am I missing?
