ASCII to Metastock file data transfer

Hello all

I have been trying to convert an ASCII file to Metastock format and I
have been having a very hard time, though this may sound a bit strange.
I am using Metastock 6.51. Please bear with me and if there's a good
Samaritan I would appreciate a hand.

This is how it is: There is a file named BNTI.TXT

<ticker>,<per>,<date>,<open>,<high>,<low>,<close>,<volume>,<o/i>
BNTI,D,990129,0.230,0.260,0.220,0.240,20250,0
BNTI,D,990201,0.240,0.240,0.220,0.220,23300,0
BNTI,D,990202,0.250,0.260,0.240,0.240,48500,0

I go to The DownLoader->Tools->Convert->
File Type: ASCII, Text File Name BNTI.TXT
Destination File Type: Metastock, Folder C:\EQUIS\METASTOCK DATA\TEMP
--> OK

Then I get: Status conversion Errors occured

Error: #2053 Unable to start new destination file
Error: #2999 (-367) Unrecognized Error

I played a little with date formats, headers, symbol....Nada...

Any ideas?

Email me privately. Thanks a lot
