Webb,

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble getting the virtual files you want. I'd like to tackle your problem again, hoping I can get you going.

Lets say that I run a scan for stocks to watch and not necessary to buy at this time. I would like to keep a list of these stocks in a virtual directory

Sounds like you have the beginning of this need taken care of. If you run a scan to populate that virtual profile in the first place, any new scan you run will add to that same profile, if you use that profile's name as the output file in your "ProcessMS VMS" command in the scan.

The problem with doing it that way is that you can get duplicate symbols in the target profile. If you go in to the list that the scan produces, you can edit out the dupes that show up night after night. Now save that list and use the drag and drop method I've mentioned in several earlier posts.

This will let your original scan grow each day and you won't have dupe entries.

Golly, I hope this helps. It can be so frustrating. I can't believe I've gotten to the point where I might be able to actually help someone else with this. I needed so much hand holding when I came on line here, I don't know why the "regulars" here put up with me... but they sure did. Thank you all, BTW!

Ken
