I can verify that Dial data does not allow intra day downloading. As I remember, Reuters didn't either and even end of day downloads were full of bugs unless you waited till they cleaned it up around 8:00 Eastern. I had to switch because I kept getting buggy data although this was over 6 months ago and they may have gotten their act together now. Also has anyone installed teh downloader patch that equis is Fed X ing out. Just received mine Friday and afraid to screw up my data on this important week before the FOMC meeting. Any lab rats try it yet?? <g> Good Luck, Lee

TC2000 can do intraday downloads as you describe. The only problem is that by the time you download and scan or export data, it's going to be considerably more than 20 minutes delayed. TC2000 custom formula scans are pokey if you want to scan the whole database. www.tc2000.com
