What the gentleman in that post needs to do is send a copy of the exact same database to his associate and repeat the 'test'. I have recently written training material for AB using two separate machines, with exactly the same database, and I replicated the results on both machines exactly (that was with a small database and simple AFL). > 5.

Sometimes it is a Symbol error and if you search Yahoo for the correct name you can fix it up - it's a Yahoo thing and nothing to do with Jim or AB (I think you will find Jim has kindly sorted the NoQuotes into a folder so you can jsut delete them from there if you want). There is quite a bit of information on Yahoo data (the pros and cons) at http://www.amibroker.org/userkb/ Everything isn't spelt out there - it just details the facts and relies on the individual to make their own judgements. Some of the material there might help answer some of your questions. Cheers, Brian_z.
