Don't know what IMS stands for, maybe someone else can help? I'll ask my broker, but it might be Monday. I don't know of anywhere on the web to access this data, I'd be interested also. Monthly data should be out late next week? Almost looks like someone is buying every other day. Buy one day, let er level off for a day, buy next day. Stock has been looking strong considering the market. Hope it keeps up. sf

Eric, I owned IMS International when it was an independent co. But I don't recall what the initials stand for. I don't think there is any free IN source for this data. It is highly coveted by the pharma industry and I believe subscriptions to the service are quite expensive. The major full price brokers can get information from it for you though. Jim
