Hi Cav


There's a Delete tool in the MetaStock Downloader. Look under
Tools/Delete/Data. You are given the option to select securities and choose
a  "Before" or "After" date.

After taking a backup and making another copy of the data you should be
able to delete one side of the offending date (using before in one copy and
after in the other) then merge the two back into one. 

I've done just such an operation but it was a long time ago. All the tools
you need are right there in the Downloader, but don't forget to do a backup
before you start. The Delete function is unforgiving if you get it wrong.


Kind regards
