Hi Kaveman,
I did this with the Metastock downloader > Tools > Convert works well.
Do you have the MS Downloader ?? Let me know if you need it...my
version is stand alone from the MS program itself...which I don't
have (or need).
Ashley.....also consider using AmiQuote to get data from Yahoo. It is
very useful...takes a bit of setting up, but well worth the effort
imho....
regards
pacific
