Rowena:
I think you can do this using Data On Demand, but only if your data feed is
from Reuters.
If you use Quotes Plus or TC2000 as your data source, both of these
programs/data feeds have charting capability so that all you have to do is
input your ticker and a chart comes up. Both of these companies have 30 day
trial periods.
In the past 2 weeks there has been discussions of several automating
programs that could be used with Metastock. Perhaps you could use one of
these automating programs to reduce your chore work. Conceptually it would
be something like specify a ticker symbol and the macro goes up to \data
then goes down to the folder with the same letter as the first one in the
ticker, then selects the ticker, and opens the chart.
Hope this helps.
