Dear Johan,

As file format of AmiBroker database is constantly changing
I think it is much better to export the quotes from your friend's
program to the standard ASCII file and then import it
automatically using AmiBroker's COM interface (Import() method
of the Application object).

For example the program may export the data in the following format:
Ticker, Date_YMD, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume

Then a few lines of code are needed to import this file automatically.
In VB it looks like this:

Set oAB = CreateObject("Broker.Application")
result = oAB.Import( 0, "File name", "prnn.format" )

Then the downloader will not need to be modified if I change
the file format.

Best regards,

Hello Tomasz,

A Dutch friend of mine has just developed a program to download 
quotes in a very short time and in different formats.

At the moment it's only in Dutch and download only some European 
quotes, but in the nearly future, it will be available in English and 
for major International stockmarkets.

http://www.quoteloader.nl/

I asked him to make it possible to import the quotes automatically 
into AmiBroker because it will save me more time. To do that, he need 
to know the fileformat on recordlevel (or something like that, sorry, 
I don't know how to explain this in English, but I hope you 
understand what I mean). Is it possible to help me, so he can make 
this thing work form me, and maybe for all of us?

I will keep you in charge and thanks for your support.

Best regards,

Johan
