I haven't tested 
this procedure, however logic says that it should do what you 
want:
<SPAN 
class=837413417-09072004> 
<SPAN 
class=837413417-09072004>1.0    Export a single day of data from 
your existing data file(s) to Excel format
<SPAN 
class=837413417-09072004>2.0    Use Excel's Find and Replace 
function and wildcards (**) to add whatever you want at the end of each 
ticker
<SPAN 
class=837413417-09072004>3.0    Save the data file and Convert it 
using the Downloader to a new folder; this will create a new data file with all 
of your tickers and only one day's data
<SPAN 
class=837413417-09072004>4.0    Use the Merge function of the 
Downloader to merge the old data file with the new and select the correct option 
to Keep the source data
<SPAN 
class=837413417-09072004> 
You may run into 
problems with date formats between your original Excel file and the file that 
the Downloader expects to see; personally, I would add an additional step of 
formatting the date as yyyymmdd in Excel, saving it as a .csv file, opening it 
in Word and saving as a .txt file. I have found this to be a fairly bulletproof 
way of avoiding some of the date format issues, but it is a little 
long-winded.
<SPAN

Good luck and good 
trading,
<SPAN
