Hello,
The key is that you should ****NOT**** use ASCII importer because
it sets "Use only local database" flag as I already described in PREVIOUS letter.
If you need to add symbols from the file use
Symbol->Watch List->Import
instead.
Also: you are sending double e-mails in two places to support and to the list.
This is waste of resources. Please send to SUPPORT at amibroker.com
only because this list is read by 2000+ people and not everybody is interested.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
