Thanks Dingo, that explains how to do it. Now all I need is the Yahoo
ticker file with the sectors/industries. Do you know where I can find
such a file, as recent as possible?

Thanks

A cupla things I forgot:
 
Here is an old template on the AB Site:
 
 
You could use this to build the basic structure and then use the DataPurify thingy under "Tools" in AB menu.
 
Then update it with newer tickers.   I'd experiment with the above in a new database. If it looks like too much work you can easily delete it.
