AMIBROKER historical Futures data import error

[sadzic]

Hi All,

Currently using AMIBROKER as a standalone backtesting tool however can't seem to overcome the simplistic problem of data import even thought i've read the overwhelming manual several times..

I've been using BULKQUOTE XL to dload historical futures data via excel. The bulkquote is an add-on to excel and allows me to use a macro for the type of format i'd like to save the data as i.e. metastock, ASCII, csv etc. Once the data is saved i.e C\mydata\futuresdata, I try using AMIBROKER's import wizard for data import & no matter what file type i try importing I receive an error - see below:

Logging started for 'C:\tmp\My_FinData\Futures\AD_0_I0B.TXT' file, using format definition file 'Formats\wizard.format'
