is pretty stable and clean (although nothing is perfect), and it’s Sector
and Industry mapping is quite nice.
Regards,
Dan.

Ticker/Symbol in Auto Analysis window
Can not help you with the tchnical issue, but unless there is an strong
reason to keep getting data from your current
provider, you might consider
switching to Quotes plus... about $25 / month
