Thanks Sean,

I need to go back and revisit those scans. I think Brooke cleared up part of the problem. I didn't have a clue what I was doing with them when I downloaded those (not that I've made a lot of progress). I think some of them called for an input list that I didn't even have.

Will check on this.

Ken

Hi Sean, sometime ago you posted a scan to print out the low/high and the date of a stock. I went back and tried it, one thing I noticed is "daystoload" does not really work the way it should be. When I change it to a smaller number, It still use the same default number of days. Can you explain this. thanks
