[amibroker] Automation -- Script works ... but



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Friends,

I coded the script. It works. It import the data.  However, when I 
invoke AmiBroker, all the windows are screwed-up. Their sizes are all 
different.  The securities that they all display is the first 
security in the database.  Any input ?  (Also, I found that the 
commented section that deals with LoadDatabase produces error [object 
error].  Any idea how to fix this ?  BTW, the database exists in the 
folder, so its not as if the database is not present for LoadDatabase 
to load.)

Script ===>
=====================================================================
WScript.Echo( "invoking");
Amibroker = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");

/****
WScript.Echo( "loading database");
try
{
    Amibroker.LoadDatabase("C:\\AMI\\AmiFast");
}
catch ( e )
{
    WScript.Echo( "error loading" + e );
}
****/

WScript.Echo( "importing");

try {
    Amibroker.Import
(0,"C:\\AMI\\AMISYSTEMS\\VIX.CSV", "C:\\AMI\\AMISYSTEMS\\VIX.FORMAT");
}
catch ( e )
{
    WScript.Echo( "error importing" );
}

WScript.Echo( "refreshing");
Amibroker.RefreshAll();

WScript.Echo( "saving");
Amibroker.SaveDatabase();

WScript.Echo( "done");
=====================================================================
