Hi all,

I have just bought a new computer that runs Windows 7 Home Premium. I 
subsequently installed Amibroker V5.2 Full version. Unlike previous versions of 
Amibroker in my previous computer whereby the Amibroker directory was found in 
C:\Program Files\, this particular installation on my new computer has the 
Amibroker directory located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ instead, which I 
thought was a little strange but OK, as Amibroker seems to be working well.

Now as part of my migration into the new computer, I copied the entire 
Amibroker directory from my old computer onto the C:\Program files (x86) 
directory in the new computer and started up Amibroker. Once again, all my 
formulas and charts seem to work OK, Amibroker appears to be refering to the 
correct directory, so no problems.

After making some changes to some formulas within Amibroker, I saved my work 
and exited Amibroker. I then went into the C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker to 
check that the changes that I had made within Amibroker was corrected reflected 
inside C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker. To my surprise, the work that I had 
saved within Amibroker was not updated within the C:\ Program files 
(x86)\Amibroker directory. I tried to make some more changes within Amibroker 
and once again these changes were not reflected in the Program files 
(x86)\Amibroker directory. 

Just to test things out a little further, I created a new test directory within 
the C:\ Program files (x86)\Amibroker\Formulas folder just to see whether 
Amibroker would recognize it and pick it up when it loaded up next. Sure 
enough, Amibroker picked it up the new directory, but not only that, it also 
retained all the changes that I had made to the various formulas. So from 
Amibroker's point of view, everything is working OK. My question then is where 
is Amibroker storing all of its formulas ??, if its not inside C:\ Program 
files (x86)\Amibroker\Formulas

This is a problem for me as my backup routines look inside the C:\ Program 
files (x86)\Amibroker\Formulas directory to backup my formulas and at the 
moment, its backing up code that does not incorporate the changes that I made 
within AMibroker.

Would appreciate any feedback
