As everyone seems to be too busy trading or asleep on the AIQ BB I wondered if could put this question to any t2w AIQ users. I'm finding the biggest drawback of using this piece of software is the amount of time it demands in keeping data 'clean'. I currently use myTrack for UK and US data and one of my biggest issues is the number of 'error' messages generated after each download. I'm aware that Prestel is viewed as a more satisfactory source for UK data, but this doesn't really help me with US markets.

So, a couple of questions:

1. For weekly ticker changes, is there any way to automate this import process rather than going through and manually adjusting each ticker in the DB.

2. Any general tips for making this data cleaning more time-efficient. if truth be told, I'd rather be using the time to trade than sorting out, to all intents and purposes, someone else's mess!

Rgds
