Hi Keith,
 
You must be set up to read your emails from the web.  Unfortunately Yahoo
groups strips off all attachments and embedded graphics that attempt to get
posted.  The exception is for those of us who elect to receive each posting
directly as an email.   There are certainly pro's and con's for doing it one
way or the other.  The biggest advantage to me is that I get see receive the
pictures and or AFL code that some folks attach to their message.
 
I did attach these two pictures along with my posting (email to the group)
and that is why I asked if they received them.
 
I went and posted my two pictures labeled "ADP Daily and Weekly Charts" at:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker-afl/files/
 
Primarly because that site is used less often and has a lot of space for
storage of files (where as this group's file storage space is running very
low).
 
Let me know if you have any other questions.  
 
Regards,
 
Dave

Dave --
I assume that you sent attachment(s) to Allan and Rakesh only.  Would it be
possible for you to include it/them with your postings here.

Allan,
 
The same request goes out to you.  Please provide a concrete example of what
it is the both of you are trying to accomplish.  Did you get my charts that
I attached to my earlier posting?  
 
I provided two seperate windows, one with a daily and one with a weekly.
Both with the same symbol and each were linked together.  You can have these
windows tiled vertically (side by side) or horizontally (one on top of the
other).

Rakesh,you are not alone in wanting to see the weekly and daily side by
side,especially with a linked chart which serves as a global cursor.I dont
know if they specifically understand what we are requesting as I was
referred to the layers and payout tutorial several times.

The sheets are not fully customizable,and i would leave it at that
