Hi - You are correct, and the workaround is that Volume needs to be divided
by 1000 (for example ) to make it smaller. I don't use Yahoo data but there
is a keyword $VOLFACTOR that works with ( I think ) ASCII importer to
accomplish this.. It is briefly mentioned in the user guide, try doing a
search on on that term.
