For those using Yahoo or MSN price imports, or those using the ASCII sector imports, you can check the version of your symbol lists by entering the File > Import Prices menu. Select Yahoo! Finance or MSN Money as your Source Type, and then click the Edit button to the right of the Securities selection. Unless you have made changes to the list, the Creation Date will be displayed in the list. To update the symbol and sector lists, download and run the following update:

Right-click on the above link and select "Save Target As...". Remember the directory in which the file will be saved and click "Save" to save the file to your hard drive. When complete, locate the file in Windows Explorer and double-click on the saved file to run the upgrade.

Only the original symbol list filenames will be updated, and backup copies of your existing symbol lists will be created. For example, the original symbol list filename for U.S. securities is Symbols.csv. Only this file will be updated, and a backup copy will be created named Symbols_backup_yyyymmdd.csv.
