RE: history bank download problems

Jerry and Sno,

I stopped using HistoryBank.com about 6 months ago due to various problems.  Here is the solution I use for EOD data:
* Export data from TC2000 (I have TC2000)
* Convert from ASCII format to GS or XPO format using HistoryCenter
* Import the data into TS2000i
* This is all done automatically daily using a Macro Express script

Before I started using this process, I did a clean installation of TS2000i without any data from HistoryBank CD.

Limitations:
* You need another data source, e.g., TC2000
* The data source may not have all the symbols you want.  For example, TC2000 does not provide future data.
* Need to have additional software (e.g., HistoryCenter and Macro Express) to help you with the process.

I have had the same problem. The last data I received successfully was EOD 
for 14 March. It's true for all symbols.
Any help gratefully received.
