Yes. That is a problem.

In that case, to work around, I would modify the original Buy and
Dividend transactions of one or the other to consolidate into a
single security named AT&T with symbol T. Modify the original Buy
Quantity but not the Totals.

That would be easy, except I happen to have the dumbed down version of Money
2004 which is the only version us lucky Canadians can use. There is no "
Portfolio-> RecordASpecialActivity-> RecordAMerger " option for me.

In that case you will need to do

newer versions of Money.

I have the same problem, except I owned 200 share of AT&T and 100 shares of
SBC. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks, removing that name and removing the symbol from the old ATT
'details" worked just fine. I had had AT & T as an investment until 06/2003
and all records were preserved.

Download also worked normally.

How complex this is can differ. Let's assume the simple case.

You held SBC but not AT&T. However you had AT&T defined in a watch
account. Locate that AT&T that you defined with symbol T and blank
its symbol in the properties. While you are at it, change the name
to "AT&T Old". Now you will be free to change the symbol of SBC to T
and the name to AT&T.

It is possible you will have a problem with downloads. If that
happens, check back.

Has anyone a solution to changing the name of SBC Communicsations to AT&T
Inc using the symbol T. Money does not allow this name change and use of a
symbol previously used for another stock. I have tried to get round it by
making it a merger of SBC into AT & T but this loses
all record of dividend payments from SBC in the new named stock.
