Gary,
Are you referring to an automated script that exists already or
something that you are planning to create?
I was referring to taking the database files that Jim Swindle provides
and filling it up with Yahoo data overnight and deleting the database
that I was previously using - and doing this on a monthly basis. This
works fine, but as I mentioned it loses any studies that are entered in
the database I was previously using. As long as studies aren't
important, that works fine. If there exists today, a better way to
utilize Jim's database that doesn't result in lost studies - let me
know.
