Papillon ,

<<So you "change one symbol," do you mean you deleted it? and inserted a new one?>>

No, I type over the new symbol over the old one.

If you want to test the bug I am referring to, create a new sheet with 2 lines with the same symbol, say INTC. Save and close the window. Open it back and change the first line to, say, MSFT (typing over the symbol). You will start getting quotes for MSFT on both lines, even though the second one has INTC for 'symbol'. If you have a sheet with 2-300 quotes and a few duplicates here and there, you can imagine that this can be a big problem...

I still think IQ is a good service for its cost, so I'm not planning on replacing it. As long as I can still use V2, I'm happy...

Michael.
