Hi Dan and Tony,      I though I responded to your previous email but I am sorry but I did not see it in the thread. If you would allow me to have the email address of the site you are downloading from maybe I could help with the download and conversion in excel and building a csv file.        I have been working with excel for years and automate most of my functions using VBA through the macro builder. I also have the ability to help build data files automatically. I would be happy to combine/share these talents with anyone who would assist in a team effort in build some AFL files that would forcast the movement of stock prices and options.
