Answering my own question (and for possible benefit of new
users).
It seems
there should be clearer Help comments on what conditions are and are now allowed
in the UNREGISTERED version.
But, my
problems went away once I REGISTERED AQ, and then started a new database.
Symbols and their data imported flawlessly, and even more nice, selecting the
Yahoo Basic Fundamentals data then imported FullName and a bunch of fundamental
statistics. As the Help file states that the UNREGISTERED version is
limited to 20 symbols for importing fundamental data, I believe I "messed up"
the database having imported more than that number. It would be nicer if a
warning message box flashed if you tried to import more than 20 symbols of fundy
data, but admittedly that is a smaller point.
AQ, for
those who have never tried it, is a pretty nice tool and represents great
programming by Tomasz, which is what he is noted for. I am a late convert
to the program and am glad I registered it.

I searched and found
several threads on Amiquote not pushing data to AB, or the data not getting into
AB.
That is what is happening
to me right now. Here are the things I have tried.
Using Version
2.0
Making sure only 1 instance
of broker.exe is running.
Manually entered one test
symbol in AQ.
Automatic import is
checked.
Click green arrow.
Msg says Imported.
Close AQ, say no to
saving.
Look in AB. Run
Scan. Refresh All.
No data
loaded.
Repeated the above after
renaming log file in AB folder.
Same
result.
I previously had downloaded
data fine.
I have run loaded FullNames
into database by selecting Yahoo Fundamental as source--it seems like my
problems began after having done this step.
I have subsequently run a
script from dingo to add fullnames, which it does.
Does anyone have any
suggestions.
Do I have to delete the
Database and start over.
I read in Howard Bandy's
new book that you must (should?) add fullnames to a database before adding data,
"or the database can be messed up". Is that what happened to
me?
Just found this in the Help
files:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unregistered version of AmiQuote allows you to
download fundamental-ex data for first 20 tickers in the list. To download data
for more symbols you need to register AmiQuote.
I did the above on more than
20 tickers in an unregistered version of AQ--I guess that is my
problem.
I have registered AQ and am
awaiting my codes.
Anything to
add?
