gonzongo - Thanks for the tip about merging the multiple directories in WOW. I'd used merge to combine CD data with downloaded stuff. But, I hadn't snapped to using it this way. Doing this every night would get old! Like you, I'll do the majority of my scan work in QP and avoid moving a huge number of securities into WOW. "Inch" huh? I suppose I could live with that...until Karen hears about it and starts in with a bunch of snide remarks! Carl

g... Good idea about creating one single directory for WOW to peruse. I haven't done this, but will consider it. Earlier, and I'm sorry I can't remember who posted it, someone suggested getting into the virtual files and renaming each one with the first symbol for each group of 255. It was painful, but I did this and now when I want to see a chart in WOW, it's very easy to find which of these 40+ directories has the data. But, this brings up a question. Having built these 40+ directories, which QV automatically updates nightly, makes maintenance easy. But, I don't believe this allows for anything new that comes along. Any new symbol won't be included in the appropriate directory... or will it? Seems to me that one would have to rerun that scan to build these subdirectories about once a week (or, at least monthly). Do I have this right? Ken
