[amibroker] confused about SetForeign usage on tickers not in database

["mbluhm2001" <mbluhm2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very new to AB and I'm trying to use SetForeign to read in stock
data from Quote.com data source. It seems that if the stock symbol is
not already in the local database then the SetForeign doesn't work. If
this is the case then is there a way to get a new stock symbols data
into the database through AFL? Is there another way to accomplish this?

I'm trying to read in a list of stocks and options data and sort
through the list based on some indicators. I don't want to manually
add them to the local database. Any help would be appriecated. I can
include the code if its needed.

Thanks
Mark
