Ken,
 
I am glad that you worked it out.
The minimum is to fill close field (as you have found out). 

 
And as you have correctly pointed out: there is always room 
for improvement both
in manual and in program.
 
Thank you very much for the feedback.
 
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

  Help - Part 2
  
  OK, I got it to work, 
  but the requirement is to fill in all boxes in the new data area (O/H/L/C) or 
  else fill in just the Close box.  Filling in just the 
  Open<FONT face=Verdana 
  size=2>/H/L<FONT 
  face=Verdana size=2> box<SPAN 
  lang=en-us>es<SPAN 
  lang=en-us> will not let the 
  data be entered.
  I think 
  this<FONT face=Verdana 
  size=2> is how the Help file should be changed to make it more 
  clear<FONT face=Verdana 
  size=2>:
  Select (new) 
  entry
  Enter 
  time/date
  Enter price data in 
  every box (If you are entering a single value, it must be entered in every box 
  (O/H/L/C) or<FONT 
  face=Verdana size=2> the Close box or<SPAN 
  lang=en-us> the new data 
  will not be added to the database.<SPAN 
  lang=en-us>
  Click 
  OK<FONT face=Verdana 
  size=2> or click on another row in the list other than 
(new).
  I guess it is obvious 
  to everyone else using AB that adding new data means to fill in every box, 
  even if the values are the same<SPAN 
  lang=en-us>.  Actually, the<SPAN 
  lang=en-us> Quote Editor 
  could be changed to accept and make the same ANY value entered in any 
  box.  Would avoid this little problem for any one else like me who tries 
  to enter a value in only one box.

  Dale:  naw, I can't say it.<SPAN

  <FONT face=Verdana 
size=2>Ken,
  Few 
  facts:
  1. You can not edit 
  quotes in external data source using Quote Editor
  2. If you use ASCII 
  importer to import the data for symbol already
  existing in your 
  external data source then nothing will be imported.
  3. If you import the 
  data for symbols that are NOT present in the database, newly imported symbols 
  are marked by ASCII importer as
  "use only local 
  database for this symbol" (See Information window for details), so they are 
  EXCLUDED from the update via plugin.
  This is useful if you 
  want to import some other data (even not quote data) and access it via Foreign 
  function while using your
  external 
  database.
  (this is actually 
  described in User's Guide: Tutorial: How to work with Real-Time data plugins, 
  but actually
  applies to all 
  plugins, not only real time)
  Best 
  regards,
  Tomasz 
  Janeczko
