Hi Walter,
Pain and suffering are the price we (still) have to pay for the eating of
one single apple. Excercise: Calculate the compound interest.
Re. X-cess2000 maybe another word to the wise: If you're seriously
considering to build a database of equities you should program it in "pure"
SQL only (insofar as the beasty exists at all). Then, after you data have
grown out of playground size (and they will), you'll be able to switch
relatively painlessly (back to the "blood, sweat & tears" category again)
to a real database engine from Access' Jet engine which cannot cope with
other than playground size amounts of data.
Kind regards & happy trading,
Jan Willem
