<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2>It sounds parculiar, but in using software, 
nothing should come as&nbsp;a&nbsp;surprise.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV></FONT><FONT size=2>Here, on my machine, </FONT><FONT size=2>the 
systematics described in the FAQ's have always worked perfectly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To me, there are no </FONT><FONT size=2>program defects in 
this department.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Also, the FAQuestions were put in the mail "in general", eg 
much like the previous sent OLE faq's,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and not </FONT><FONT size=2>particularly directly addressed to 
you or completely answering your problems.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If they are/were of any help, great, else you will(must have) 
have (had) severe problems. But to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>automaticaly </FONT><FONT size=2>call 'corrupted data' a 
"program bug", goes a bit too far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Example, I know that </FONT><FONT size=2>you also use a 3td 
party software conversion program. This I have done so</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>as well&nbsp;for the past 2 years (with all the ups and 
downs,&nbsp;some known for in old DOS programs).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Also myself, on one or two occasions, have had corrupted 
files, but these were all due to 3td party</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>software.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If, like was mentioned earlier on the List, this </FONT><FONT 
size=2>conversion program you use has (had) severe</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Y2k problems, than </FONT><FONT size=2>also&nbsp;include the 
possibility that it can be also the&nbsp;</FONT><FONT size=2>cause&nbsp;in that 
your </FONT><FONT size=2>files/folder</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>have had </FONT><FONT size=2>become corrupted. </FONT><FONT 
size=2>Note here, only taking this option in considderation as one of the 
many</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>other&nbsp;possibilities.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And knowing too, </FONT><FONT size=2>that the Downloader 
program will always finish LAST when combatting in any</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>conversion-race, it still does its Convert's jobs </FONT><FONT 
size=2>solidly. Dreadfully slow,&nbsp;and&nbsp;sometimes in a very</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>parculiar way, but still </FONT><FONT size=2>always 
solid.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>No problems for you tho, I think, since you always have 
backups. </FONT><FONT size=2>And from testing any of your</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>other Data Folders, </FONT><FONT size=2>you will also soon be 
able to find out the reason why just one(1) Folder </FONT><FONT 
size=2>got</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>corrupted, </FONT><FONT size=2>and not any&nbsp;of your other 
Folders or your entire database, eg just run Test on the other</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>folders that were converted by your program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You also do a test yourselves, by converting using the 
Downloader, to a test-file in just a test-folder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Then delete some of the&nbsp;Date's Data, like done in your 
other file that was corrupted, and if all fails,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>than you must have a severe program or Data File's 
problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All the best,</FONT></DIV>

Hello To All!

Wonderful group inhere.

I have recently purchased MS 6.52EOD, and I am trying to create an indicator
that will find and plot swing points for a given period (default is 7).
 i.e., we will consider a price high to be any day that has at least 6 lower
highs on both side of it. A price low will be a daily low with at least six
higher daily lows on both sides.

Any help or advice is most welcome. I am still struggling with MS formula
language

Thanks & Regards

Alan A. Darwiche
