Thanks Ron, but that is not it.  You first have to find the past date, mark
it with the variable, and then you can run the exploration based on the
other parameters of that date.  From talking to Lynn at support I am
understanding that this probably not possible in Metastock itself, although
it can be achieved through  a dll that can be written with the developer
package, and then be called by Metastock.  If anyone has better ideas, I am
all ears.

If all you want to be able to do is run  an exploration as of a date
other than the most recent bar (date) that can be done at the
Exploration itself by using the Options button at the bottom of the
Exploration Edit window. You can then choose a date.
