You have to know that "stock.tmp" must be located in the same directory as 
the script
(current working directory).
While ami.format file must be located in "Formats" subdirectory of 
AmiBroker's main folder
(where all other .format files are) - otherwise you have to specify a full 
path to the file
in the Import function call.

Subject: [amibroker] AMIBROKER.IMPORT why cant i use it from VB

the following VB code
doesnt work why

Set amibroker = CreateObject("Broker.Application")
amibroker.Import(0, "stock.tmp", "ami.format")
amibroker.RefreshAll



I know the createobject function work
i can see all the symbols refreshing in ami when i run the program.
and these line are working to get a symbol list

c = amibroker.stocks.Count
Open "stock.lst" For Output As #1
For a = 1 To c - 1
Print #1, amibroker.stocks(a).ticker
Next a
Close #1 c = amibroker.stocks.Count



but i have a list of ascii data

example: "stock.tmp"
"AXP","7/2/2001",39.51,39.00,39.95,38.60,4617800
"BA","7/2/2001",56.36,56.60,57.22,56.30,3339400
"C","7/2/2001",53.48,52.95,53.70,52.31,8862300
"CAT","7/2/2001",51.96,50.05,52.25,50.05,2065100
"DAVE","7/2/2001",9.93,9.73,9.99,9.71,151600

with the file "ami.format"
$FORMAT Ticker, Date_MDY, Close, Open, High, Low, Volume
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$CONT 1
$GROUP 255
$AUTOADD 1
$DEBUG 1



using the importer by hand the data will import

but using
amibroker.Import(0, "stock.tmp", "ami.format")

just doesn't work.

if this work I can update ami broker as fast as it can take to do a
standard import.
and in real time.

testing shows the dow 30 list can be done in under 3 sec ( a guess
it could be faster)
