class=702095416-18082003>Dave,
keep
in mind that there is a setting in prefs/charting that sets the default number
of bars shown on a chart. under file/database you can set the number of bars
that ab loads. In AA you can easily choose the the range of dates to run tests
or explorations on. The settings in Pref and database are across your entire
database the settings in AA can be limited to a single stock or watch list of
stocks...
Regards,
Jayson
