I was bugged by the fact that the current tickers and their
names were hard to get from Yahoo as well.
If you are a VB.NET programmer, I wrote something awhile
back that pulls all of the Yahoo tickers (including the company names, sectors
and industries) into AB. It does not work flawlessly (some of them end up
in the wrong sector), but a coder with an interest could debug it pretty easily
I'm sure.
I don't have a use for it anymore, but would be happy to
send you the source code if you want. I built it with VB.NET
2003. It sucks down the entire list (6000+, I think) in about five
minutes.

Hi Perry,
Thanks for the reply. Actually I am trying to
do just the opposite.
I have a bunch of symbols in my AB database that have
no names. I am
looking for a way to get the full names using the symbols off
the
Yahoo site. There are so many that it would not be practical to do
this manually. so, I want to do this with a program.
Cheers,
Barry
