Hi Ed,
I've never noticed RTD updating my symbols when they change. I
created a directory of the S&P400 companies using the Downloader's 6.5
hardcoded symbols and about 5% of them now return "invalid symbol
errors" (I've been too lazy to find and delete them so far).
Does anyone else use a data provider that automatically updates
symbols for them?

non-existent companies? I assume that if the company was still alive
that RTD would have given me the new symbol to use and update the
database as it has with many other symbol changes. My original data
base is from the MS6.5 data disk which ends in October 97 therefore
all companies that now are invalid symbols were valid companies less
than two months ago.
