Bob and All, I agree. I used Dial Data and it just sends data as cleartext. slow. I haven't found any problems with qp2 stock data ( an occasional missed split). Indexes and mutuals have had some hiccups but al least they are usually rectified quickly. I love the feature that I get data transfered in a error protected manner and that price/vol corrections are automatically applied to the database. These come from three areas. The exchanges themselves, QP comparison with backup data sources, user feedback. Worden does the same thing. Others???? Sean

Why don't you check the chart of AVID? I also found incorrect closing on BVSN on Wednesday. (This one got corrected later.) There was also one high/low error on one of Dow stocks which I cannot remember now. I also reported a programming bug (not data) to QP this week on a wrong spilt adjustment. If you are talking wrong spilt data, I've reported too many. BTW, Nasdaq volume is not right since a week ago. I normally don't use QP2's index data, but last two weeks were extraordinary. I would like to know if we had reached a short term bottom and to make sure I've not made any human error on entering data into my database. I enter volume data of indices by hand daily. On Aug. 28, Nasdaq was out of Bolliger band second day in a row. Although we are pretty close to the climax, I've decided not to do anything with my short positions on the following Monday based on the volume data I just entered. When I saw QP2's data was around 690 millions shares, I thought I made a pretty serious mistake. Later checked Yahoo, and Nasdaq web sites. Actually Nasdaq was down on very heavy volume. I could have reached a different conclusion if based on QP2 data alone. Most of these errors are corrected now. But I'd like to have clean data when they first arrive, not two days later. Two months ago I thought QP2 could replace other major competition. IMHO now, I've better to keep two data sources. Certainly, I'll change my mind if I don't find any incorrect quotes in any single week. Clark
