gonz... Thanks for that suggestion. You are exactly correct! Wonder why WOW does that? Will that date ever change? Now, here's another strange... I also have the DJIA set up in a virtual file, the same thing happened there with the dates. However, there is a huge discrepancy between the closing prices I got from QP2 and those I got from my Primate download. 7 of the DJIA components show a different closing price between the two sources. I just went over to the Schwab site to check on them and in ALL cases, the number Schwab shows for a close differs from what I got from QP2, but agrees with those from Primate. It just occurred to me that those 7 were spotted because one source said the close was up and the other said down. I didn't even check to see if there is a discrepancy between the two sources where both said price was up (or down) but maybe by different amounts. Any ideas on this? BTW, Jan, thanks for your suggestion. I had done it that way. Ken

gonz... Strange, yes, but for a different reason than I originally thought. As you suggested, when I went to WOW to look at those DJIA charts, the files showed only 6/23 as the last date, but the charts displayed data for 6/24. So, I ran a quick little scan in WOW that gives me a report of which are up and which are down (I keep a separate DJIA adv/dec line). It ran as usual (but much slower due to QPV) and the report it generated was for the numbers on 6/23! Even though the charts displayed 6/24. I then pulled up data from QP2 and Primate and sure enough, all those numbers that I thought were wrong from QP were actually the numbers for the day before. Any ideas on this situation? This appears to be a WOW problem? Or is it? Ken
