thanks for the reply--
yes, this is referring to future contracts which expire---some every
month--- it's the month letter i must change in more than 12
chart/indicators now--and maybe more to come.
I have each sheet set to a different future-- 6e, zb, er2 etc. on the sheet
is a chart, and 3 or 4 indicators. each indicator then can be changed for
the ma periods i want--as an example. each sheet's chart/indicators have a
SetForeign followed by the full IB symbol, so when i click a sheet of the
S&P, i see all the info i want for that symbol, and then EUR, i see what i
want. so this means every sheet must have 4 or 5 files edited each time a
contract expires.... and maybe 6-8 sheets. and crude expires every month.
i just want a cross reference table where i can say er2u5-globex-fut is
equal to R2K. and all my charts/indicators would have SetForeign("R2K") for
the er2 symbol, but would be linked to 1 instance of the real symbol. so
when a contract expires, all i have to do is change the "real" symbol in 1
place. does that make sense??
i know this is confusing-- cuz i don't fully understand what i can really do
in afl.

ron,
Assuming you are referring to futures, the first 2 letters of your symbol do
not change.

thanks for the reply,
yea i remember--but that was for database and merging the expiring contract
with the new one.
my request for some help is so i don't have to change the SetForeign symbol
every 3 months in 10 or charts/indicators. I have specialized indicators
for the different symbols and changing them is a pain...
i'd like someway to cross reference a current symbol (which will change
every 3 months) to an "alias" symbol. the alias would be the one used in
the SetForeign.

Hi Ron
Something similar was covered a few weeks back. From memory they
decided to create a NEW ticker with the NEW symbol every three months
and then use the Symbol>Merge function to merge it with the previous
symbol.
