So what is the function of the global "From" date now?

but when I did I do not recall any problem with different symbols 
having different last dates (not holes in data) for auto update.  My 
impression was that AQ gets the earliest last available date for the 
entire symbol list (I suspect this would be easier and faster than 
keeping track of individual ending dates) and then gets historical 
data from that date forward for all symbols.  As I recall, there was 
never a problem with getting all data when different symbols had 
different ending dates (can occur for a number of reasons) which is 
consistent with the earliest last date scenario.  If one is 
interested, this could easily be checked by creating a small dummy 
database containing all data through the current date, delete a 
different number of quotes from different symbols, and then run auto 
update to see if all symbols are updated properly through the current 
date.  I have used a number of downloaders through the years and this 
is the way they seem to function which makes correcting data for 
distributions, etc. relatively easy.
