Hello Bob for an excellent note. I found out yesterday from Bruce that Access provides an ODBC interface to Visual FoxPro and these monthly tables probably can be linked to span a longer timeframe
Treliff.. I believe you are correct in summarizing what's been said. You'd have to find a collection of these monthly issues from someone, but then there's the copyright issue. There is an SIPro/AAII forum where one person posted a message 3 yrs ago wanting to buy for past issues. I didn't see any response as I remember. I've got Oct thru Sept; Sept 26, 2003 through Sept 3, 2004 in 13 CDs. BTW the CD says the fundamental data is provided by MarketGuide and earnings estimates by I/B/E/S.(Thomsen Financial).
