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

I would be interested in this also ...

Currently to import data from Quotes Plus, all of the information is
imported or you have to manually deselect the issues you don't want. I
would much rather import a list of symbols.

Plus I would like to create an application that will place the symbols in
their corresponding industries/sectors.

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

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