I know QP can handle creating this and assume the ms downloader can too. You need to convert or export those securities into metastock dirs with DOP files. hopefully the downloader will do this.... I just checked it out. Here is how to do it.... goto tools menu-> application options-> general and then check maintain dop files. Then goto tools->convert and convert the directories in question from metastock format to a new directory also in metastock format and now the new target directory will have .dop files..... remeber the directory needs to be less than 255 securities for TC2000 to read it properly..... regards, Sean
