Thanks, Don. I have three NYSE listings that it doesn't recognize as
symbols: MSPD, GLD and SPX. The method I'm using is smart tabs in Excel
2003. Is there anything else I can tell you that would be helpful?

Thanks, Don. I know smart tags relies on MSN Money for stock quotes, and the
MSN money knows the three symbols I'm having Excel trouble with so I'm
stumped.

I didn't know there were other methods to do this! Could you point me in
the direction of information that might help me to learn how to make my
spreadsheet use something other than MSN?
