I'm writing a VB program to test some formulas for Steve and there are a couple
of ways to get data into VB. First get the data out of MetaStock and into a
more usable format - open a chart in MetaStock, click on the graph line, right
click on the graph line, click copy, open Microsoft Note Pad, click paste, or
open a spreadsheet program and click paste, save file as .txt. VB can open and
read the comma delimited text (.txt) file with no problems. You can also
incorporate a spreadsheet into VB directly and paste the above data into this
spreadsheet, then perform any calculations on the data.
Contact me privately for more information or if you want to purchase a VB
program to do this.

As I understand it, there are two ways to access your Metastock data from
VB. Equis offers two different libraries. They offer a read only DLL
library for $99 (I think) and a more extensive MSFL which provides you with
the ability to maintain the Metastock data as well. I don,t remember the
price, but its all on the Equis site.
If there are other ways to do it, I,d be interested in hearing about them as
well.

Hi all,
I have followed a number of the threads regarding Visual Basic but I am
still unclear whether it's possible to access the MetaStock files from
Visual Basic? ... and if so how?
I have seen that there is a read-only MDK but that is at extra cost ... at
present price is unclear.
Are there 'other' ways of doing it?
I'd appreciate any help.
