<P><FONT face="Century Schoolbook" size=2><FONT size=2>I consider TC2000 and
Quotes Plus to be the cleanest and most reliable sources. Both have conversion
programs for metastock. Equis has done everyone a misservice by not giving
direct read capability as most other top charting programs have. One day before
they go the way of Tandy, Apple, and betamax, they might.</FONT></FONT>

This is a few lines of code in a Perl script. If you deal with data in
delimited files, Perl is very handy. It is free and there is a ton of
free resources available. See http://www.perl.org/ for more info. You
could write a Perl script which would connect to Yahoo, fetch your quotes
and parse the data into a format suitable for exporting to MS.
Cheers,
Jim
