The startup option is not a factor. Every time
you get Metastock data either at startup or whenever you change databases
you get whatever is there. And you don't have to start from scratch,
etc. Just be sure that MDdata is going into a folder and that you have a
specified a Metastock database for AB (2 different things). You tell
the plug-in where to find MDdata data in the Configure settings and it puts
it into the AB Metastock database that you created where it stays until it is
updated. If you are using other programs that use Metastock format then
like the plug-in they also pick up MDdata data from the folder that MDdata
uses. At least that's my understanding and the way it seems to work for
me.

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Metastock
external EOD update & Amibroker MS plugin
Thanks for your response Bill
It seems that the only
thing I can think of is that I unchecked
the "load at startup" box when I
created the database folder (ie
C:\Program Files\Amibroker\MSData but
there no way of checking or
changing that after the initial creation. I
assumed that Amibroker
reads the native MS data folders directly rather
than create its own
version and therfore any download of EOD MS data from
a third party
data vendor would be reflected in AB access - which is not
the case
here. (BTW Metastock & other programs do disply uptodate
bars)
One option is to delete the AB MSData database and start again
but I
cannot see how that is done from AB
OR uninstall AB and start
again - but that will/may lose the
interday data from the Quotetraker as I
see it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If so, then your settings are the same
as mine which works fine.
