Sorry folks . . 
.  ignore the post below; it won't work because you can only merge 
identical tickers.

  I haven't tested 
  this procedure, however logic says that it should do what you 
  want:
  <SPAN 
  class=837413417-09072004> 
  <SPAN 
  class=837413417-09072004>1.0    Export a single day of data 
  from your existing data file(s) to Excel format
  <SPAN 
  class=837413417-09072004>2.0    Use Excel's Find and Replace 
  function and wildcards (**) to add whatever you want at the end of each 
  ticker
  <SPAN 
  class=837413417-09072004>3.0    Save the data file and Convert 
  it using the Downloader to a new folder; this will create a new data file with 
  all of your tickers and only one day's data
  <SPAN 
  class=837413417-09072004>4.0    Use the Merge function of the 
  Downloader to merge the old data file with the new and select the correct 
  option to Keep the source data
  <SPAN 
  class=837413417-09072004> 
  You may run into 
  problems with date formats between your original Excel file and the file that 
  the Downloader expects to see; personally, I would add an additional step of 
  formatting the date as yyyymmdd in Excel, saving it as a .csv file, opening it 
  in Word and saving as a .txt file. I have found this to be a fairly 
  bulletproof way of avoiding some of the date format issues, but it is a little 
  long-winded.

  Good luck and good 
  trading,
