"AmiQuote performs internally 4 steps
a) retrieves the ticker list from AmiBroker (all symbols loaded currently in AmiBroker);
b) gets the last quotation date available in AmiBroker;
c) performs historical download from last date upto today;
d) instructs AmiBroker to import downloaded files."
 
 
I'm confused by your comment.  From the above description it appears that AmiQuote operates like most (all?) other downloaders.  Specifically, historical data is downloaded from the start date to the current date when there are no quotes in the database.  Once quotes are saved updates only add historical data from the last quote date to the current date.  The description does not suggest to me that old data is replaced as new adjustments are made.  When a new adjustment (e.g., dividend) is made only data from the last quote is properly adjusted and prior quotes do not reflect the new adjustment.  If this is the case, it is necessary to delete all data and download all adjusted data from the start date.  Some downloaders can delete quotes for any period, including as far back as the start date.  I don't use AmiQuote but gather from the question that it does not have this functionality.  In this case, one thought off the top of my head is that something along these lines might work: delete the database, make a new one, download all historical data from the start date using the same symbol file (i.e., *.tls).
