When I do an exploration of the S&P 500 using the stocks included in the Index Constituents | S&P 500 list, I get 11 rejects.  Is that list being kept current.

Hello,

There is a process where the Instrument List checks monthly for new list updates, but because this list resides in the Program Files (x86) folder, you must run MetaStock as Administrator for this to function.

Alternatively, you can download our InstrumentList Update file located at https://www.metastock.com/customer/support/download/Symbols

You will want to close MetaStock prior to running this update.

I do run as administrator but the lists don't appear to have been updated.  I'll try the other method.
