Subject: Am I doing it wrong?
>I've been told that the way I run Metastock is too much work and

>group. Here's what I need to do:
>
>1. Update the charts in the evening automatically. Prior to this week I
>was using Dial/Data through Autonet so I did not access the internet and I
>could use delayed update.
>2. Print a variety of 60 charts Monday-Thursday and approximately 250 on
>the weekend.
>
>As of this week, Dial/Data can only be accessed through the internet, so I
>have to build a macro using "express download" because my ISP is Earthlink
>and apparently it will not dial, or disconnect, automatically. I haven't
>gotten this macro to work yet.
>
>Also, I was printing a group of 20 charts so I was able to group them all
>into one macro. Now I've been requested to set up the macro so it is
>easier to pull one or two out and replace them with others.

>The macro program that equis had built in (many versions ago) was great for
>what I wanted to do. Now I use Autorun which I can use pretty easy, but
>its still a pain in the you-know-what. Anyone want to throw out any ideas?
> Especially people who do macro programs. I've heard of Win Batch as a
>macro program, but what does that have over Autorun?

>I'd appreciate any advice you have.
