The symbols have to be entered with a leading period. So instead of
entering MSQJF, you would enter .MSQJF as the symbol. This can
result in a discrepancy when downloading statements. You just have
to decide what you want to work.
Note there is a bug in Money 2003 and 2004 that won't let you change
the symbol on a listed option. You can work around that by defining
the option as a stock. Where you would have entered 1 option
contract, enter 100 shares if defined as a stock.
Consider making a copy of your Money file to experiment with.
