Mike,
I have the same problem and I am as frustrated as you are about it.
Repeated attempts to call it to Equis' attention have seemingly disappeared
in the bit bucket. At this point, any new chart I create only appears with
one data point on it, regardless of the settings in the Default template,
etc. I'm confident that this is because Equis rushed out a Y2K fix without
completely testing it.
To get around the problem, I have taken to using WinBatch scripts to
automatically open my charts and then reset the X-Axis accordingly. It is
really stupid that I have to do this.
Another big problem with the updated version is that when you use the "Save
as HTML" command, the program often will write out an incomplete JPG
file(!). It is completely random as to whether I get a correct JPG or not.
After much sleuthing, I just gave up and wrote another WinBatch script that
issues the command and then checks the size of the JPG file which was
written. If it is not the right size, it issues the "Save as HTML" command
again.

Subject: since patch update / no help given
every time i open metastock, i hope that it will open with the same
start date, eventhough i have checked off the reatain settings in the
x-axis box & using smart charts.
very often metastock will open my charts with ALL the periods downloaded
& then i have to reset my x-axis start date.
also,
if i enlarge any chart, ALL the other stock charts will get the same
enlraged view.
ALL THIS SINCE THE PATCH UPDATE.
i contacted metastock support about this several weeks ago, but they
never bothered to give me any correction to this problem that THEY
created with this patch.
(ALSO, notice how they changed "alerts" that are attached to experts,
alerts pop-up only ONCE when going to a chart, and alerts accumulate
over a period of weeks. when you finally apply a chart you haven't
visited in weeks you get a series of alerts pop up dating from multiple
back dates- what a waste of time, getting alerts from 3 or 4 weeks ago)
also no correction made here either.
NOW I TURN TO THE GROUP.
any solutions to the above?
