Gary, While you're at it here are my few annoyances: Chart Program: When you click icon to manually enter symbol please retain which tab you were on last time. If you're in mutual fund mode its cumbersome to keep clicking the tab each time.. Scan Database: a. Remember size and location from last time. b. Increase size of or make resizable the list of scans. c. If you rename a scan or add a new one and then click Done to return to the list it would be nice if it would pre-select the just edited/added scan, have the list sorted correctly and the selected scan visible in the list window. To get it to sort now you have to exit out of the select reports/scans dialog and get back in. d. Allow the Scan Add/Edit dialog to be resizable WITH the controls resized proportionally. It'll resize now but the controls don't. e. The tool bar only works on the reports dialog..? These are mostly useablilty issues but they do annoy.. There, I feel better now!<g> Dale

Resolved in the short run, Gary? [Won't help in the long run according to a long-dead English economist ;) ] Good luck and God's speed in your effort. Bob

See you get a lot of wish lists here, Gary, so here is mine ;) Q+ reads the symbol from a Q+ list, but hasn't a clue as to what follows it. Wondrous things could ensue if Q+ could, as many DB programs, parse and process the CSVs that follow the symbol as parm2, parm3, parm4 ... Such as: -resolve most of the complaints re lack of global/static vars. -allow resumption of a calculation -- e.g., update an EMA calculation. -Read slope/channel info from a previous scan and determine/report violations thereto. I well realize that [and have in fact implemented] Perl-based solutions to such problems, but the built-in capability would be far more desirable. Bob

Gary and others, I hope I'm not alone in this. Last night I couldn't get my scans to run. Each one I tried bombed after running through all symbols prior to being deep into the "E"s. When it quit running, it said there were syntax errors (several, apparently) in the scan. These scans have always worked before and I did nothing to change them. This morning I went hunting and found a bad symbol that may (or may not) be causing the bomb. Please take a look at EQCS (Equity Compression Svcs Corp). Bad, or no, data here. I don't know enough about the way scans work to pinpoint this problem. But, all my scans that have worked up to last night, won't run now, and seem to all bomb at about this same location. Ideas, anyone? Ken
