Hi Tomasz,
Well, no one will ever get any "image problem" ideas from
me, and I
apologize for possibly inadvertently creating one. It's a
great
program, period.
I did go ahead and try the upgrade. I'm not
experiencing any
problems that I notice. I haven't tried everything yet,
but I'll get
around to it.
The new enhancements to the watchlist
system are warmly welcomed.
Quick question: I have three watchlists in
my primary database, one
each for the Nikkei 225, 300, and 500 indices. I
also have a full
Japan database (more than 3000 symbols) that I have not
organized
very much. Since watchlists now have a folder, an index file,
and
ticker lists, would it now be possible to copy a watchlist,
or
watchlists, from one database to another? It would seem that
this
might be an easy thing to do, but I don't want to mess around
with
the innards until I know what I'm
doing.
Thanks,
Yuki
