exactly.   I run 3 accounts here. One has a problem the other two do not. 
That makes the problem even more complicated. Still it can be shown that for 
the account that has a problem with the link to Amibroker is able to 
download real-time and historical data just fine.  This can be tested with 
the application VB_API_sample.exe which sits on your computer if you have 
downloaded the API software.

The problem must lie with Interactive Brokers  :((    I am contacting IB 
about this again. Maybe if others do this as well they will take the matter 
seriously. Thanks,

regards, Ed
