Louis, I have no problems with Yahoo EOD. Stay away from "OB" and "PK" (delete them from Database you got from Jim Swindle). Then delete low price stocks (ie below $2.00) and those with volume less than 100,000. Also do a periodic "Clean UP" to eliminate stocks that are no longer active. All databases require this even those that with high monthly fees. Yes, there are a few (very few)that have to be download "current" or you can get from another source (Google or MSN).
