Maybe it is an ORing condition vs ANDing. Then I would understand.. Dick.

Dick: The loop statement acts like an "or" condition. At -200 days it runs the scan and if it passes all the conditions in the scan it will log the results. At -199 days, it again treats this as a seperate date and again runs the complete scan and logs any results. Write a simple test scan using loop(0,-10) that will get you hits for all 11 days. If you look at the scan list you will see each date the scan critera was met. I suggest changing the loop statement to no more than 10 days worth. At -200 days it eats up the computer resourse memory. I tried to go back as far as I could to check the performance of the scan. I had to use QEEM97 program to help manage my memory problem. In addition, it took a long time on my P200 computer Richard Lockie
