I don't of any way except write a new scan. What you are doing is about right. The reports have some failings, like the Gainers report doesn't have a price/volume filter. so you get a 12 cent stock going to 24 cents on 50,000 shares. So writing them makes sense, do it once and the time spend erasing things can be used elsewhere. I wondered if you meant reports. But answer is the same.

Ed, The reports are so limiting that few bother with them; fin studio will do what they don't [even the current alpha may be workable]. Better to reproduce the Topvolms.rpt with a scan such as below, sorting it by colC descending. -Bob --------- output = "Topvolms.lst"; float volpctchng, volcutoff; volcutoff := 5; // 500%; set this if vol(0) >= 500 and vol(-1) > 0 and vol(0) -vol(-1) > volcutoffvol(-1) then volpctchng := 100(vol(0) -vol(-1))/vol(-1); println symbol,",",vol(0)/100,",",volpctchng:5:1; endif;
