Alan,
Once I had this "problem" earlier, and I had made
a very silly mistake.
The steps which I had followed were,
create new security
click the look up button
the symbol list showed up
I neglected to scroll up in the drop down symbol
list selection
Other than that, I see no reason why it should
not show.
This mystery can either be solved by Richard,
who's good at these things or MS support.
