Hi, David--

I think this has to do with the 255 stock limitation still built into MS. Sure, you can add more stocks to a directory within MS, but QP does not seem to be able to transfer stocks to a large directory in MS. In fact, when the directory gets around the 200 mark, strange things may happen during a QP transfer. The last time I tried this, the transfer worked fine for the first 241 stocks. The next 11 looked like they were transferred, but only the symbols were transferred. The data were incorrect and investigation showed that the data actually were transposed from stocks at the beginning of the directory list, which in turn were left with names intact but no data at all!!! The remaining stocks in the transfer list were ignored completely.

I've reported this to Gary a few days ago, but don't know whether it is an MS glitch or a QP bug.
