Louis - you're right, something has changed at Jim's site. I just downloaded both the .zip file and the Excel file from his site just a few days ago.
I unzipped the file and created the empty database as "US-Stocks New". Like you, I did not want the OTC-BB stock names in all of the industry lists - so there is a utility in AB under the SYMBOL dropdown near the bottom called "Organize Assignments". In that, under MARKETS there is a list of all of the *.OB stocks under OTC. Just click this list, then under the SELECTED the DELETE button will illuminate, and when you click it, all of the *.OB stocks disappear from the DB.
