Typically, the data provider will automatically take
care of conversions of previous data. That means you
may have to download a completely new data series and
probably delete the old data. Your provider may give
you instructions how to do this through your
downloader. Metastock does not provide any means of
time series conversions like splits, etc.
automatically. You have to rely completely on your
data provider.
Hope this helps, although question not addressed ot
me.
