complain to Equis, they are the ones who restrict the use of the 2000 directory to all but those that they have arangments with. They should have an open and free path to their data. I stay with virtual, and haven't had the first problem since beta in april or so. I would only use Metastock data if I had extremely long term data in that format.

the power of QP2 is the scans, they bring you down to the real trading stocks. You fit them to your beliefs. they are like exporations just 4-10 times faster and more useable.

David, just divide up your qp lists into smaller ones, transfer those to MS, and then use QP to update the smaller MS directories on a daily basis. The only extra step is the initial division. Since MS bogs down if you try to open a large number of charts at the same time anyway, you really should not be hindered by the extra step.

All the best,

doug

As you implied, the 256 limit supposedly was fixed with MSW6.5. The fact that everybody is reporting different capacities before your system hit the wall seems to imply that the limiting factor is a data buffer somewhere. (WOW V4 had an 8-900 stock limit - they claimed due to the development tool they were using, but perhaps due to compilation setup limits.) Perhaps this is the same sort of thing.
