Barry:

I think there is an easy way to do this using AB's ASCII
Importer. The ASCII Importer give a lot more options than
the Import Wizard. One of the options is to import the
"Industry ID" of all the tickers. 

If you search for "ascii import" in AB's User's Guide, the
first hit on my computer is "Import from ASCII file. The
info about sector ID importing is found 1/3 of the way down
in what is a long article on the ins and outs of the ASCII
imporoter. 

Thanks for the various AB formulas on your website.

All the best.
