Re: Importing from MS

Hi ,

I'm not quite sure whether I understood what you are doing when 
saying "I run scripts to move them around to other folders ", but 
certainly you can have several subfolders under your master folder 
and import from them equally easy.

I know what you mean regarding the lists - this feature exists 
already in AB for TC2000 and QP2 data. You link ( connect ) AB with 
QP2 or TC2000 and select a list of symbols to be imported / updated 
from the list directory in QP2 or TC2000.

But if you import from "Master" anyway, why would you want to import 
subsets extra ? I mean, if the subsets are part of the masterfile and 
the master symbols are all in AB, you need to update all of them 
anyway. Wouldn't be easier to assign the stocks you want to analyze 
separately to an extra watchlist or custom-market in AB directly - so 
you separate the tasks of selection from updating daily data.

Maybe I missed something ?!
