For AB-qpFeed users a question.  I'm having major problems with 
getting intraday data (1 min bar db, 7400 bars, local data enabled) - 
using Vista Home premium, AB 5.05pro, qpFeed 1.0.91 plug-in.  Have 
been working with this about a month using this db with only 40-50 
symbols (hi volume stocks/etfs and a few indexes) and no real 
problems.  First exploration with 'wait for backfill' checked took 6 
minutes, symbols stayed current.  Just increased db to 126 symbols 
and found at best I could keep the first 100 symbols going through 
the exploration would update and remaining symbols would NOT update 
to current.  I could refresh these symbols to current but they would 
not stay current even while the chart stayed on the screen.  Anyone 
using qpFeed - would appreciate your experience ?Ara, ?Kevin
Thanks, Dan
