Hmmmmmmmm?

 You have prompted me to check more thoroughly and I now find that some of my symbols are not being updated; seems 95% get updated (guesstimate).

Tomasz, how can we debug this?  Is there some way to check the to-from content to try to track this down?

Ok, this is not consistant because the stock I check a few minutes ago is now updating but another still isn't????  I did un-tick "Auto add from AB" & "Use optimised routine" to see if that made a difference but it didin't seem to.

Yes, I am now confused :-(
