It sure would have been easier to find before you deleted those
transactions. Do you remember what it was called? If so and you did
not "delete" the security, you can do
Portfolio-> WorkWithInvestments-> ChooseASpecificInvestment.

If not, perhaps there is a backup file that you could restore TO A
DIFFERENT FILENAME where you could find the investment name. Note
the name. Then go see if you see it in the
Portfolio-> WorkWithInvestments-> ChooseASpecificInvestment list in
the real current file. If not, create a dividend and spell out the
name of the security that you learned from the old restore.

Thanks but I must not have been clear. I cannot find a security that has TWX as it's symbol. I deleted all transactions that had TWX as the symbol then searched for a transaction with TWX in it and found none. Is there a better way to find it?

The cost basis data for AOL is correct but it will not update with the new price listed as TWX on my postitions on Ameritrade. I have deleted all transactions showing TWX everywhere and then searched for a TWX transaction. None found.

Remove (blank) the symbol for the security that currently has the
TWX symbol. Then rename the security to something you will not want
to use later. Then you can change the symbol and name for the
investment you hold.

Is this related to any of the preceding paragraphs? In any case,
name the file as you like. How about calling it ron.mny?
