Jolly,
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
I was able to solve the problem I was having. It resulted from having two instances of Amibroker running on the same database. When I closed the non-visible instance (i had forgotten about it), then Amiquote import updated the data in the visible instance I was having problems with. Just to be sure this was the problem, I was able to reproduce it by opening a second instance of Amibroker.
So is it fair to assume one should only run one instance of AmiBroker off a database?
Thanks again for your help,
ftm
