If you are trying to select an existing symbol when creating a new
investment, you haven't understood the advice you have read. If you have
already defined an investment that uses the symbol you want to assign to a
new investment, you should not be creating a new investment--you should be
using the one that's already been created.

Let's say you want to enter a Buy of XYZ Corp into account 2. Go to
the Account List and select Account 2.

Click into the bottom of the register into the Investment area. To
the right of the white space will be a little down-arrow. Click
that. You can select XYZ Corp from the list.

I have read the messages pertaining to using the same ticker symbol for 2
different accounts. Again and again I read "choose the symbol from the drop
down list." I am using Money 2003, and there is no drop down list offered.
I can search for the symbol, but am not allowed to select it because it is
already being used.

Following instructions in Help, I am double clicking the investment (which
takes me to a graph), choosing Details from the left, and from that screen
attempting to choose the symbol. No drop down list is provided here.

Is there another screen that provides a drop down list? If so, please give
me step by step detail on how to get there.

Thank you,
