Thanks, that will be a great help. I just noticed another little "undocumented feature" which has had me puzzled. I have seen a number of stocks with garbage in the "Low" column and 0 in the "Open Price" column. As a result the "Net Change" shows the same value as "Price" and the Ticker is Up Arrow. This occurred today with UTEK while I was watching it at 14:37. I happened when the price rose from $20.50 back to $20.625 which was the previous "Open Price". The value in "High" was actually todays "Low". Up until now UTEK price has stayed at $20.625 and the same condition remains. I will report what happens if UTEK moves from its Open price again. (I would go and buy some to move it if I had the money!!) I suspect the problem is caused by DATEK's data format changing when the Net Change suddenly becomes 0. Also, I know it is not really your problem but when DATEK displays ?? for 64ths then you display 00. It could cause somebody to have a heart attack if they didn't realise what is happening. Thanks again, I hope my cheque has arrived (but it has to come from Canada, and Canada Post is the worse postal service in the world).
UPDATE: 15:00 UTEK just dropped 1/16 to $20.563 and the problem was resolved. Pity it didn't go up as I am long on UTEK, but at least we know the situation which causes that problem.
