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

[NIck Iacovelli <nickhere@xxxx>]

I was getting 200 current quotes via yahoo and was hoping the import would 
automatically import it.

now i think it might be faster if i poke it in

i have ticker,date,close,open,high,low, volume

how can i pass the data from vb to ami

NO error number just a syntex error

i need a "=" sign
like c=amibroker.Import(0, "stock.tmp", "ami.format")


this alone is wrong
amibroker.Import(0, "stock.tmp", "ami.format")
