Bill,
Thanks for taking the time to help me here. It is very much
appreciated.
Regarding your question, all my data comes from the same supplier
(JustData) and has already been configured by them.
After I download the data using their software, it appears in the
following directory on my pc.
C:\My Databases\MetaStock
Within the Metastock folder, there are two folders ASX & LSE (which
contains my Australian & UK data).
Within each of these two folders, I have futher folders which contain
each letter of the alphabet and within each of these, I have the
relevant .DAT files. These .DAT files are named F1, F2, F3, etc, etc.
As a result, the only way I currently know which securities belong to
each exchange is to open the relevant folder (AXS or LSE).
Therefore, if I create the one Amibroker database with all my data,
I'm not sure how I will be able to find out which exchange a security
belongs to while working within Amibroker.
I hope this helps to clarify my current situation.
As always, any help much appreciated,

in the name (i.e., XXX = symbol, YYY-exchange = name). If not, I
don't understand how your MS folders are setup.
