SetForeign has nothing to do with loading data. This is only a technique to allow you to look at price data on a symbol other than the one you have selected. FOr example, you have CSCO selected, but you want to compute an RSI of the COMPQ. SetForeign will let you do this.

To load new data Amiquote is a possible solution. I believe there are methods to load data from web pages, but I don't know what they are.

I don't believe this helps since its outside of AB. I want to be able
to load data from Quote.com through the AFL code.

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
