Thanks, Ian and Dingo, for your suggestions. I am using 4.90.5, but I don't see a Watchlist folder, hence, I guess I can't use dingo's suggestion until I upgrade.
As for Ian's suggestion, is it possible to get AFL to accept parameters so that I can have a single AFL, call it and pass on the watchlist to erase (I can do without the filling in of tickers from the filter)? If possible, this might be an indirect way. Actually, it just surprised me that erasing a watchlist via COM is not so direct after all in AB. I was really more expecting a 1-line reply to my query, even accompanied by a 'knock' on the head from seniors here for not figuring out on my own =) - Winston --- In [email protected], "Ian Watts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I know you are talking about COM, but for what it is worth, the > following AFL will erase a watch list and then fill it with the > Filtered symbols.
