Hallo 
All....
 
Please can someone help me with the folowing 
problem:
 
I have changed over to a new data supplierand have 
set up a new database with the correct sectors and industry codes by changing 
the broker industries/sectors files....it went well until there.
 
The database I bought is a metastock one for 5 
years....when I choose the metastock import icon it takes me to the import 
screen....here I brows to the first master file on the cd ( the cd has many 
folders eg....Financials, Industrials Unit Trusts, etc...) and choose 
it.   Unfortunately there is also an option on this screen to import 
to "group" and "watchlist".  the "watchlist" option is blank and the 
"group" option has " 255"  entered into it....there is no way it seemsto 
disable this option...thus after the import, all shares are listed in the 
"groups" "255" section which is not what I want...as well as under the "All" 
section....
 
Questions:
How d I disable the options in the importfunction 
?
How do I automaticaly distribute the shares to the 
already created Industries ? ( like with ASCII you can use a script refering 
to the industry codes in the ascii update file, no such luxaries in the 
metastock update files it seems )
Please help....
 
Kind regards
