you're not as far along with it as i thought you said in your original post.
The first thing you should figure out is how to import the data into the
field you want to use.  Once you get that far I can guide you re the
scripting.

d,

Thanks... I haven't done very much yet other than experiment with a 
few approaches. I created a .csv file in excel with dummy data and 
tried importing it with the import wizard but that didn't work. Next 
I manually edited the quote data for one symbol and added the 
institutional ownership percentage in the open interest (OI) field. 
I was then able to plot the indicator with:
Plot(OI,"Open Interest %", Colorred,StyleHistogram | 4); 
I'm interested in automating this process with VBscript. I'm 
thinking to get the data from a website with URLGET and then parse 
through it using VBscript. I then would like to write the 
institutional ownership % to the available OI field in each symbol 
of my database if I can access that field somehow. My problem is 
that I'm a beginner at vbscript and AFL for that matter and I have 
~6400 symbols in my database. I'm not sure how to iterate through my 
database or how to pass the new symbol needed as an argument to the 
URLGET application or the best way to parse out the 
data....basically I have a lot of work ahead of me. Any pointers on 
the approach or similar solutions would be appreciated.
regards,
Tom
