Hello,
Please create COMPLETELY NEW database from scratch with new plugin 1.5.1.
(Make sure you are running v 1.5.1 by going to Tools->Plugins)
This is the only guaranteed way to get rid of incorrect symbols.
And you will get all those !IDxxx industry indices.
I have checked it many times and it works OK. (provided you create NEW database)
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
