Thanks again Jim,
This is a good start, I will start this little project soon then...
My goal would be: the data would be just like the way I am doing now,
all the scans are done and the database would have all eod data from
yesterday when I look at charts. I just need to go through a short
list of stocks as the results of automated scans.
I don't really care how many stocks get deleted/added each day
either, if we download and refresh the database everyday then I guess
we don't need to worry about this problem.
Gary.
