Hello,
 
The group / watch list combos in Metastock 
importer enable you to CHANGE the destination group/watch 
list.
So you can import different folders from you 
CD to a different groups (not only default 255) by simply changing
the combo-box contents.
 
As for moving stocks to appropriate industries try 
the following:
 
1. Start with a blank database (File->New 
workspace)
2. Import one folder from you CD 
3. Go to Stock->Organize assignments and move 
all of them to an industry of your choice
   (there is a button that moves them 
all in one click)
4. Repeat 2 and 3 for all MS folders on your 
CD.

Updates

Hallo 
All....
 
Please can someone help me with the folowing 
problem:
 
I have changed over to a new data supplier and 
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 onefor 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 seems to 
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 import 
function ? 
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
