Correct, it's stored in the AB database. Note you can view these fields by 
selecting View/Symbol Information and you'll get a pane with these fundamental values.

I don't know how often each data field changes but any ratio that has earnings
as a numerator will change once per quarter when reported..like EPS ... practically I'd say
once a week, but I have to qualify that and say I'm not a user.  For EOD price day you
need to run daily downloads.

  Thanks Joe, that works very nicely. Now I guess this is reading from 
  Yahoo Finance database I downloaded using Amiquote, How often does 
  one have to update Yahoo finance data via Amiquote though?
  Thanks
