*** This is exactly what I found. If you let it run for a longer period in
VB6 IDE, you may find that it has a problem after a while too. When it shut
down it VB6, sometimes it just closed down the whole VB app and left no
trace of an error message.

*** I'm afraid that it isn't very well documented. (surprise). The basics of
the language are found in the Omega Developer's Kit under the following
topics:
Extracting Data from the GlobalServer
GlobalServer Query Language
TheBasic Components
Study the chart. This is all they give to understand the query language. The
language consists of:
Transaction type
Request (One time transaction)
Advise (Updating Transactions)
Fields
Represented by numbers depending on the QUERY TYPE you choose. The
fields are located under
Extracting Data from the GlobalServer
GlobalServer Query Language
Query Types
Time
Symbol_List
Feedinfo
Serverinfo
Symbol_Data (Used to get Bid Ask, last, etc. info from the Glob
Serv)
News
>From - This is a keyword that you must use
Query Type - Use one of the above Query types - for instance Symbol_Data to
look at the field 0 which is the last field. Etc.
Where - This is a keyword you must use
Conditions - To get a specific symbol do: 31 = "IBM" etc.

*** look at conditions above. Study the documents that I listed above for
conditions.

*** I have no idea.

*** Synchronous is like a computer modem connection, asynchronous is like a
radio station broadcasting quotes. UNFORTUNATELY: the only one that works
for ongoing communication with the Advise transaction type is Asynchronous.
