Reuters Data Trend, Dial Data are the only ones that will update MS6.5 data directory directly, containing upto 2000 symbols. All other vendors export only 255 symbols per directory. So if you have 2000 stocks to follow, you would need to create 9 directories with Quote Plus. Also Quote Plus will not correct for splits or volume changes in the MS6.5 directory, where as Reuters does it automatically. As for the accuracy of data I don't know how to check. When people make claims that it is accurate, have they checked against another source. I found that all vendors have some problems. e.g. with Quote Plus there are many times I find the high and low different from other vendors or as published in IBD. e.g. GDT Q-plus gave a low near 63 whereas other vendors give a low of 67 last Friday. As for the beta QPlus 2 being released soon; well we are waiting. But that will still not take care of problems just add new features. Best bet get two vendors for your data, if accuracy is a lot of concern. Kiri
