Tomasz, I am using external OLE during this process.
Downloading and processing QP data is the first step, followed by additional processing within AB ... such as building ATC etc when process gets that far. In your comments you referred to: ".... if any plugin is locking on some external resource and can not be unloaded." Are you referring to any Amibroker plugin ... or some other unrelated product? (I don't think I have any other plug-ins. Certainly none that I am using intentionally. Your second point: "It can be also external OLE script not finished yet (for example you have run OLE script that opened OLE automation but did not finish yet). I do not use any other scripts. How can I determine what the problem is so I can address it?

The observed behavior is that one closes AB by either Exiting or clicking the close window/program box, and AB seems to exit normally. It does not show up in the list of running Applications in Task Manager, but it SOMETIMES remains and shows up when you click on Processes. It is then necessary to click on broker.exe in Processes and choose "End Process". As described below this is not reproduceable and does not happen every time, but it was not related to QP or its instructions. Not complaining, nor asking for anything. I was just responding to Ara that two of us can report we have seen this behavior with AB.

I have not figured out what steps cause it to happen or prevent it from happening. For awhile, before updating QP and after shutting down AB, I would open Task Manager and look for broker.exe. Sometimes I found it, and clicked End Process, other times it was not there. A hassle, and mysterious. For some reason, it has not been bothering me lately. ??????????? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ara Kaloustian Sent: Friday, January 12, 2007 7:53 PM To: AB-Main Subject: [amibroker] Closing AB / QP database - (WIN XP) After closing AB, system still sees AB as running even though it is not in the running application list as shown in task manager. Problem is when I try to update EOD prices from QP, system gets hung when it tries to compact QP database because it is "being used by another application" I do not use QP charting ... just AB using QP database. Is this an AB problem, a QP problem ??? Anyone experience this?? Ara
