Fixed. Thanks.

Waiting to hear back from testers.

Unadjusted price is stored in the Open Interest field.

Not available.

14. Every day, UA will automatically update your AmiBroker database, and
overwrite the history of stocks which have had dividends or splits. If you
wish to discontinue this updating, go back to step 7, and uncheck the box to
the left of "Export all stocks to AmiBroker".
15. If you ever create a new database in AmiBroker, to reimport the UA
stock history into your new database go back to step 7. Check the box next
to "export history with next download". Then download and distribute.
TH Note: The "how long" question was not answered.

We do not have intraday data. I don't know if it is possible to update a UA
generated database with a different datasource.
