Chuck,

I use the following code.  It may work for you.

//#####              Include File                     #####\\
//#####            Zacks Earnings Date                #####\\
//#####                9/24/05                        #####\\
//#####      Data must be downloaded from Zacks       #####\\
//#####      and placed in a .csv file for access     #####\\



FileString = Null;
EarningsDate = "N/A";

fh = fopen("C:\\Program Files\\AmiBroker\\My Misc Files\\Zacks 
Earnings Dates.csv","r");
if (fh)
{//1
	while(!feof(fh))
	{//2
	FileString = fgets(fh);	
		if (StrExtract(FileString,0) == Name())
		{//3
		EarningsDate = StrLeft(StrExtract(FileString,1),8); 
				  
		}//3		
	}//2
	fclose(fh);
}//1

I also import numerical data using dummy tickers from a .csv file
maintained in Excel.  Ii is imported using File/Import ASCII.

Regards,

Tony
