Bing,
Hypertools has been giving their program away. Works really well to
change a symbol name. www.hypertrader.it
Or you can do what I used to do. First copy your PDS folder out as a
backup in the even you mess up. Then change the name of the symbol to
the old name then import the data. BE SURE YOU ARE WORKING OFF LINE.
Then keep doing it until you change the name back to the current one.
Better make a list of the dates you want to export first and fix up
your data so you have exactly the dates exported you want to import.
Also be sure your current data is deleted on any overlap you don't
want to keep so the new data coming in replaces it.
I used to export all the data from the current symbol just in case I
made a mistake as I went along. The PDS copy and the export should
keep you safe. Pretty easy to mess up doing this stuff or at least
for me it was. Hypertrader's program is the best solution.
Best regards,
Jimmy Snowden
