Dale,
http://www.sierrachart.com/
Support at Sierra tells me their spreadsheet will not save the quotes. I'ts
just a one row deal for each symbol. You can download the trial version but
to make it work you have to enable Sierra Charts on the myTrak system.
That's $45/m.
I've requested information from FutureSource yesterday so l'll let you know
later this week.
Chuck
