TJ - I downloaded again this morning following this order:
1. Historical (save all) 2. Fundamental Basic (save all) 3. Fundamental Extra
(save all).
Looked at the tickers and the Forward EPS and Forward P/E are flipped.
This weekend, I'll delete all ticker data and rebuild the database and see what
the results are. (in case something isn't being overwritten properly).
Thanks
