All data providers will have the same problem. With QC the way you do it is this: Download the program (I forget it's name) which allows you to bring the QC data into an Excel spreadsheet. Then create a spreadsheet which gives you a column for bid "column c" and another for last (last night's official close) "column b" or possibly close (depending on what time the data is reset). Then create a column with a formula (calculated field) that has the following formula: "=b1/c1" (use "column a" for the symbol. This should work on all Nasdaq stocks in premarket as well as intra day (if you use close for column b). My other quote provider already comes in a spreadsheet format so I haven't used the QC program, but I understand that it works well. Matt

jebj,..Re:.With Pre-market in the quote page, you have the same display of the gaps for ALL OF YOUR STOCKS ON A REALTIME BASIS, not just one at a time. And right up to the open. Maybe it's not important but it seems intuitive that since pre-market or post market data is not yet aggregated, that no business would want to go to the trouble of collecting and organizing and transmitting it? Seems like it would be a big headache at this stage.<g> Maybe this describes the problem better. thestreet.com After-Hours Price Differences Persist, Despite Nasdaq's Entry News that the Internet communications technology firm would acquire Internet content delivery shop Sandpiper Networks sent Digital Island's stock to 38 11/16 as of the 4 p.m. close on Monday from its Friday close of 23. By 6:30, Nasdaq and Island both listed the stock's last sale at 40 1/4. But at the same time, shares were selling for 39 1/4 on Instinet, a large institutional ECN that now handles E*Trade (EGRP:Nasdaq) customers' after-hours trades. That's because Island was sharing its trade information with Nasdaq but Instinet wasn't. Cheers, Lee
