Hello, That's interesting - I just tried to download now and the date format is still DD-MMM-YY ! You should really double check this because it does not look as there was ANY change in the format of Yahoo Historical.

Yahoo have changed the date format from dd-mm-yy to yy-mm-dd. Changing the *.AQH format file in c:\program files\amibroker\formats fixed the problem..

Then i do "Tools->Import into Amibroker". When I do this I notice that a few symbols are not imported, but the vast majority of symbols are imported fine. When I redownload the data for those few symbols using Amiquote and then do "Tools->Import into Amibroker" for the second time, they are imported correctly. To identify which symbols had not been imported, I used filter=1 and "N last days, n=1" in AA settings, did an exploration then sorted by date to see which symbols did not have today's date. Because only a few symbols are not imported, I guess this is something that normally wouldn't be noticed by the user, unless youre updating a large database (thousands of symbols) and really analyse the data to see what has been imported and what hasnt.
