ATTN: Chief Farming Officer By the way Tob, I forgot to mention I thought that was a riot. I downloaded GrabIt and tried the demo. Not too shabby a program, although the accuracy of the interpretation is pretty dependent on how large the graph is. The larger the more accurate. In the sample they provided, the width of the line is equal to half a point. Be that as it may, I probably will pay the $30 for it since it does do the same things for interpreting scanned photos, art, etc., and that I can use. As for the financial functions, it should do a reasonably good job of taking the daily chart from quote.com, or the 6 month or yearly chart from Big Charts and grabbing the highs and lows, but not the open or close. The only other downside is that is works with Excel 97, and not a lot of folks have that yet. If you just want historical data, though, just go to tradepbs.com and type in the symbol and select decimal or fraction and select the period from a month to a year and a half. Its free, although you have to manipulate the data as they give it to you as DATE/CLOSE/OPEN/HIGH/LOW/VOLUME Instead of DATE/OPEN/HIGH/LOW/CLOSE/VOLUME so you have to cut the second column out and pasteit between LOW and VOLUME for excel to make candlestick or regular stock charts out of it. lasthsadow
