Hi All,

I've already add my request to the enhancement request a few days ago.

Anyway I was looking for someone who found an alternative solution and made the effort to manually configure the metastock plug-in for reading the 3 databases at the same time and translated the existing scripts into a single script with a 2-level classification which is already supported by AB.
