group should be aware of it: 

Janene, 
Thank you for your response.  I have been using real MetaStock files
exported using the QP2 Output to MetaStock utility.  If there are any
corrections sent out by QP to correct errors in the data, these
corrections do not show up in the MetaStock exported data.  At least, not
in my installation.  When the advance and decline corrections were sent
out, they were not made on my MetaStock exported data.  I verified this
using the QP Display Charts program. 

The only way I can update the exported MetaStock data with the
corrections is to delete all the MetaStock files and re-export. 
Unfortunately, I also must recreate my composites.  I found there is
nothing I can do to preserve my composites.  I must recreate them and I
have done this now 3 times. 

I was told by another QP2 user on my MetaStock ListServ that a patch will
be created to fix this problem.  Are you saying this in not correct?


Thank you, 
Daniel.

  Dan, 
  You can create composites with the real Metstock files.  You cannot
create 
  composites with the Virtual Profiler.  There will not be a patch as far
as I 
  know.  The folders with the virtual files need to have just virtual
files, 
  nothing else.  When you create other files and leave them there it
creates 
  problems with the virtual files.  Use the output to Metastock program
for 
  the stocks you want to create composites for.
