My understanding is that in order to export to other pgms I must first convert the V4 data into V3 format (which I gather is instantaneous) but this shouldn't change the idea that most of the data is still in the cdrom and not my C drive.

Gary,
I could be wrong, but if you want get to have say 300 records to read, then you are going to have to have 300 days of data on your hard drive. I was given the impression that the export moves all data on your hard drive to the version 3 format. That is fine if you are doing say a daily scan, but you need more data than that for GET to work. If I recall correctly, I think that I was told that to export say 3 years of data on 100 stocks would take some thing like a minute Now say for 2000 stocks, that would not be in the instantaneous range.
