Re: Changing real-time data vendor / MetaServer RT

["Nick Channon" <channon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Theo - I made several backups, including one 
direct text copy to NotePad ! Once you've worked with computers for as long as I 
have (more than 20 years) you stop trusting backups 100% !
Regards,
Nick

  Nick :
   
  One little remark :
   
  if you had made a backup -before the 
  re-install-
  you would not have Phewed :)

    Thanks Debra, thanks Robert, I did write to 
    Metastock Support and they confirmed that the re-install should not 
    interfere with anything. I tried it today and happily it does not seem to 
    have caused any problems. (Phew! Months of work were at 
    risk....!)
     
    Thanks for your help,
    Nick

      Nick,
      My suggestion is to call MetaStock support and they will walk 
      you through whatever needs to be done if you are not sure of the 
      outcome.
      Debra

        Subject: Changing real-time data 
        vendor / MetaServer RT
        
        Hi folks, I wonder if anyone can help me 
        with the following questions:
         
        I want to change my real-time data vendor 
        from eSignal to the MetaServer RT DDE application. According to the 
        MetaServer help file, I first have to select another option (not 
        eSignal) during the Metastock Install.
         
        Do I really have to run through the 
        Metastock Install again to achieve this, or is there an easier 
        way?
         
        If I have to run through the install again, 
        is it safe to do so ie will all of my custom-built experts etc. remain 
        intact or will they be removed? Obviously I have them backed up, but 
        even so I am hesitant to trust the backup and restore 
        process!
         
        Many thanks, Nick
