Ara - If the CONN button background is blue then you have a problem. Go to the help area and find the section "Working with intraday and daily charts" In that section there are some instructions on what to do when the CONN button is blue. You must have a configuration problem somewhere - not selecting the right database, the IB plugin not selected, etc. You might also want to review the section pertaining to getting quotes from InteractiveBrokers.
