You are employing a two part process to get your data to AB: [1] IQFeed to MS via QCollector.
[2] MS to AB via ASCII import. If you want to resolve the issue the first thing to do would be to check the data stored in the MS format files. For this you would need the MS Downloader or some other utlility to open the MS format files. If after this you are certain data files are accurate then you can take up the issue with AB support. If the MS data files are corrupted then you have to see where is the fault i.e. at the source IQFeed or the conversion/collection utility QCollector. I am not aware of how well AB interacts with IQFeed but AB does have a plug-in for IQFeed which I believe is being kept up to date by AB. So why not eliminate all these intermediary utilities and go straight from IQFeed to AB? Do you have other software programs which need a MS format data file??
