Well, technically you can create multiple securities with the same symbol and name which are handled correctly in the engine (they get their own ID). Currencies though take their symbol as the ID. I agree, it would create a mess and the user has no chance to distinguish between multiple securities carrying the same name and thus can open a huge can of worms. That's probably the reason for the 'unique security symbol' advice. Hope that helps in the discussion. -- Regards Thomas Baumgart GPG-FP: E55E D592 F45F 116B 8429 4F99 9C59 DB40 B75D D3BA ------------------------------------------------------------- To the optimist, the glass is half full.
