This is a work-around that I use. After loading the fundamental data, I run the following script to put the names back to what I like. If you haven't done these scripts: 1. Edit/Save the file as clear text using NotePad or whatever. 2. Go to FILE -> IMPORT ASCII in AB 3. Navigate to the file & click OPEN You're done.
