I am
based downunder in New Zealand which means I use the d/MM/yyyy date inversion.
This means that Joe J's excellent suggestion for a work around doesn't work for
me.

Whilst
I have been using Metastock for many years and am therefore comfortable finding
my way round the basic features I guess we must accept that every program has
its strong points and its weak points. I find AIQ excellent for System Testing
(daily or weekly) because it gives me a summary report for my tested universe of
stocks which Metastock Version 8 doesn't do very well, although I consider
Version 8 a vast improvement over previous versions so far as System Testing is
concerned - weekly testing excepted!

Enhanced System Tester QuestionsGordon:I hope
it is a "priority" fix. It will be a pain to do many of the the workarounds
that Joe suggested.I must admit that so far I find Metastock to be
very confusing to use efficiently. Lots of capabilities, but very disjointed.
Operations that took one step (and often could be automated) in my 5 year old
Windows on Wallstreet, seem to take 5 or six manual steps in Metastock. Maybe
the methods are buried in the manual somewhere, but I haven't found them
