I have chosen not to upgrade and have never upgraded from the original 6.5
as I have seen too many problems by other people upgrading and have NOT seen
the need to upgrade until all the patches are "patched up". I have been
using MS6.5 for over 1 year without any problems. I believe the problem has
to do with my trying a different data vendor (Quote Plus 2) as I have been
using TC2000 data. By using this vendor he creates some Virtual Metastock
data and directories and I feel that this caused this glitch yesterday which
is when I first used the Quote Plus 2 program.
The use of multiple directories should not be causing the problem because I
have been using different data vendors in the past and had different MS
directories for each data vendor. Thus perhaps this "Virtual directories"
messed up MS. Let's see what Equis says and if I have to upgrade I guess I
will.
Thanks,
Bill

Subject: Re: Error Message-Non-Based Security
Your Chart, SmartChart, Layout, or on opening new securities which then
makes standard use of the Default.mwt-Template, have a link to another
security in the chart(s) and program is unable to track or locate it/them.
Form this, can tell that you either have not succesfully installed the
latest
available Patch(es), or did not upgrade at all.
So run any of the LATEST available and for your situation applicable Patch.
There are 2 of them, one for the old patchers and one for the fresh new
first
time patchers and for more info refer you to todays (+ latest) mailing(s)
to the List, i.e. subject: "Re: ? patch" and also to the Equis website
http://www.equis.com/customer/support/files/
The build date in the MS+DL About menu's, must be Feb 5, 1999(or later)
and both patches require the congratulations messages to be displayed
and machine to be re-booted, for the process of "6.5 to 6.52" transitioning
to be succesfully applied.

All upgrade details are available at the Equis website(see above)
and here are the Patches:

http://www.equis.com/customer/support/files/download/MSW652.EXE
This patch will upgrade anyone with MetaStock for Windows End-of-Day version
6.5.
This will work on any 6.5 install or from any previous 6.5 patch. This patch

the Euro and Y2K adjustments and will update your version of The DownLoader
to 6.52 also. (dated 2/8/99, 4.8 Mb)

http://www.equis.com/customer/support/files/download/Msw652a.exe
This patch will upgrade anyone with MetaStock for Windows 95 & NT End-of-Day

6.5, or
installed MetaStock for Windows 95 & NT End-of-Day version 6.52 from a new
version 6.52 CD-ROM. If you used an earlier dated patch to update from

the full patch.
This patch contains fixes for the "Date requested is after the last date in
