Are you using 
Metastock's Downloader to update your data?  If so, you do not need to 
"import" the Metastock quotes.  The Metastock plugin should access the 
Metastock files directly.  If you import the data, then you are creating a 
"local database" which is in native Amibroker format.  Running the 
Downloader does not update a local database.

I hope this 
helps.  If I am wrong on this, others will correct me.

  Correct Metastock plug-in use
  Hi
   
  This weekend I set up in AB a database based 
  on Metastock format quote data. Today I noticed the AB graphs werent 
  updating as I update the metastock quotes. I checked the help file and 
  realised Id set it up wrong, so I changed all the database settings, 
  plug-in and MS file paths according to the instructions.
   
  However, AB still isnt updating as I add new 
  quotes (past) to existing tickers. I also (following the instructions) set up 
  a new database to test and imported the data. I then added a few past quotes, 
  but even this database doesnt reflect new data added to ticker history files. 
  
   
  Is there something Im missing, or do I really 
  need to import the data every day?
   
  Thanks
