Barry,

Use Amquote and do not check the import box.  You will then have the
full name in the files where AQ download files are kept.  It's a simple 
matter to then use File>Import ASCII to get the fullname into AB. If you
want, I can post my methods.

If you are setting up a database for the first time and using Yahoo
for the EOD source, use AQ and Yahoo Current for the initial symbol list
and use auto import.The full name will be set up at the same time.

Regards,

Tony
