Hello,
1. It will only update if
a) you scan entire database using 32-bit version.
b) you make sure that in File->Database Settings "Data source" is set to Quotes
Plus.
How copying from external database to local one works is explained in manual:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_workspace.html
AB 64-bit does NOT have QP2 plugin (because QP2 is not 64-bit native), but
if you do step 1a with 32-bit version it will copy data from QP2 to AmiBroker
files,
that will be read without problems with 64-bit version.
Note that you need to do step 1a ONCE per trading day (after you download QP2
update)
I wrote the word "once" in a meaning that once data are copied from Qp2 database
they exist in local database. With "once" I mean "once" per update (per day).

Running the Scan helped. However, that leads me to another question or two:
I had set up the data base, "QP3L", with local enabled a while ago, in addition to my
already existing local disabled data base, "QP3".
1. QP3L does not update when running either AB32 or AB64. So it has no new data since early July. Is there some way to update it? I could delete QP3, if
that would help.
2. In your instruction 2 below, why did you capitalize the word ONCE. ONCE is
enough? Or, more than ONCE is a problem?
Thanks so much for your help.

Hello,
It is easy (no need to export/import):
1. Setup the QP2 database using 32 bit version, make sure that local data
storage is enabled
2. Run a scan over all symbols ONCE using 32 bit version.
3. Run 64-bit AmiBroker on that QP2 database. It does not matter that you don't
have QP2 plugin
in 64-bit, it will use locally stored data.

I would like to use AB 64bit for running exhaustive optimization on QuotesPlus
EOD data. However, AB does not have a 64bit plugin for QuotesPlus data.
One thought I have is to write all the data out to ASCII files using fputs(),
then import it into a new data base using ASCII import. But I have two
questions:
1. Is there a better way?
2. Is there some way to setup and have the symbols placed in the same QP
categories as in my original QP data base?
Thanks for help on this,
