Hi Dan,
I followed your directions exactly. The Symbol-Categories-
Industries Base Indexes for Relative Strength field remains
unpopulated.
The drop down does give me a whole bunch to chose from including the
MG symbols. However, that is the same as manually entering the data
for each of the 239 Industries.
I upgraded to AB 4.70 before doing this.
I have used TeleChart data for a couple of years so I just updated
the Database settings for my existing database.
When that didn't work, I tried the same thing by creating a new
database - that didn't work either :-((
