[amibroker] Re: Correct Metastock plug-in use

Thanks Jayson - 

I did all that - I followed the help instructions to the letter. The 
only thing I can think of is that something happened cos I set the 
database up wrong to begin with, and corrected it when it was 
already full. Maybe that has something to do with it...

Any other suggestions welcome.

Andy
