I don't have experience (yet) with exporting to Metastock, and perhaps other respondents answered this. But you can never export everything with a scan because the scan doesn't include the whole database. (I know it scans the whole database, but it scans everything to figure out if it's excluding an issue, and it always excludes something. By default it excludes Amex weeklies, and there's no way to get them in that I know of.) Also the database has delisted issues. You can get these into scans if you try hard enough, but they don't fall out of close(0)>=0, and again I wonder what you'd gain. Do you really want these things? If your really gotta have it all, you can go against the raw database with a little code to poke the dll. Actually, it's simpler than that if you just want a list of symbols. BTW, the symbol list isn't completely accurate either; at least in my database. There are symbols in the table that are not actually include in the database. Try BCCC for instance. You can find this under the by-name lookup, but you will get an error if you try to graph it.
