Hi Steve and the others,
The process you have described is not the best way to do this.
Please remember that AmiBroker database and the set of AQH
files are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things.
.AQH files are just plain text files with historical data.
The workspace (or database) is a set of binary files stored
in one folder with 0-9, a-z subfolders that hold quotes, stock information,
your studies (trend lines, Fibonacci stuff).
To copy some of the stocks to another database it is enough
to
1. Create a new directory somewhere on your disk
2. Copy the tickers of your choice from the original workspace
to the new directory
Note: when the new directory is blank you don't need to create subfolder
structure (0-9,a-z) - only copy the files into one (new) directory.
When you then use AmiBroker to Open this workspace the set of folders
will be created automatically and the files will be moved to appropriate ones
according to the first letter of the ticker.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
