Hi Lev,
am in work now so don't have the program to refer to, but i reckon what you have said is what i do.
When i converted the data last night i sent it to a folder in metastock that i had called ftse100 but when i do as you suggested ,which by the way is more or less what the manual says,i click on the folder/security ? and nothing.................again as i am in work this is from memory.
Will keep at it over the w/e as i still suspect it's something to do with the "create security" bit that i'mnot getting . Have only had the program a couple of days and while most of it looks fairly straight forward ie point and click, there are aspects of it that are difficult to get to grips with.Anyway early days yet.
Thanks for you're thoughts/ suggestions, they are very welcome and much appreciated and, as you're first pointer about the data export was spot on, most certainly right!!!
A
