Gary, I just found something that I didn't realize about the QP database or at least it showed up in my Metastock output. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that the QP database only keeps about the last 520 days of data. I found that if do a MS output (not an update) of a stock today and compare it to the MS output of the same stock that I did a month ago. The starting date for the data is different by one month relative to when each output was created. Is what I see correct? Do I have to maintain, by updating/merging, two complete databases (a QP and a MS, ASCII, or WOW) to have more than two years of data on any stock. Is it a bug in the MS output routine? Or, did I miss/misinterpret something in the literature? I realized that the QP Display program is limited to 520 days, but is the database? I don't know what stocks I may be looking at next year, but I might want to look at three years of data and it doesn't appear that I would be able to unless I plan for it now by maintaining another database. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help. Chris
