Excellent Mike! Great suggestions. However the results of your modifications is similar to the results I was getting before. The code produces duplicate symbols with no quote data. Something is still not quite right with copying the quote data from the source symbol to the new duplicate symbol. I had previously surmised that the problem probably lies with the Quotations.Add() routine not being passed a proper date value. Most of the examples I could find for Quotations.Add() are in jscript and the date parameter is formated as a VT_DATE type (usually through the jscript date routine getVarDate()) or as a string of format YYYY-MM-DD.
I'm making an assumption that Quotations.Add() is not adding quote data records because my chart shows the message "To plot any chart at least 3 data bars are needed, but there are only 0 bars..." for each of the new duplicate symbols. I wanted to keep the code in AFL, but maybe there's a reason there are no examples of Quotations.Add() in AFL and the only way to get this to work is to convert to jscript.
Regards,
David
