Ken, The answer to your question is no. You would not have access to the ranking scores if you had not purchased SPP.
I have posted an updated QPAmiCompare.xls file. I used the file in the first place to track the raw data that was used in various places between QP and Ami. The QP scan database, which is installed on your hard-drive, appears to be the underlying database for SPP. >From the SPP help/data fields section each of the fields in SPP states if it is a computed or imported field so they can be cross referenced to each other. So with the exception of QRS and EPS rank all of the other ranks are calculated in SPP and not part of the Ami package. To correct my previous statement on ethical grounds: "My opinion was that the QP ranking systems were fairly transparent and could be duplicated in AB with relative ease'" I am biased towards creating my own rankings anyway. I wasn't considering QP for the rankings. Most if not all of the rankings used in QP are already part of the public domain.
