Al,

I used the following scripts.
You'll have to edit the scpec file for your needs.
You'll need winbatch from windowware.com.

Happy scanning

P.S.

Its gonna take two messages to post this....

; QPDAY.wbt - Automatically perform routine QuotesPlus functions
; original concept by Paul Beattie.
; heavily modified by Jeff Grover (1 Sept 1997)
;
; Event Sequence:
;
; 1) Download EOD Data from Web Site
; 2) QP Update database
; 3) QP Run scans
; 4) Archive Scan and List results for future back testing
; 5) QP Output Metastock files
; Files are output in full because the
; Automatic update feature of QP doesn't transfer
; splits properly to existing Metastock files.
;
; NOTE: (I changed this to update. NEED TO FIX ASAP!)
;
; Instructions: The following variables listed below must all be defined
; properly for the script to work.
