[amibroker] Re: setforeign bug



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links


I did better than run purify, I created a PURE database from scratch.

 If you want to help, do what I did and see if the results are the 
same for you. If they are, something is wrong and I need to be aware 
of why because I put money on the line based on the results of these 
scans. 
If you dont know the details of the discussion or ways to 
troubleshoot and debug software problems, dont get in the middle of 
it. you are only distracting from the issue, not helping.

thanks,
ken
