Graham, Thanks. I do use different intraday settings for different groups. One of these intraday settings is "Time shift". Unfortunatley this setting applies to the entire database. If it only applied to the group then it would solve the problem.
Perhaps it would be an option to have a different database for each market, but I think you can only have one database open at a time?
