1. Look at the information I have in the FILES area of this Yahoo group. If you still have problems after taht, come back here.
2. Best Charts does not download the historical files for you. You have to download them from Yahoo and save them in your folder.

After reading the manual, FAQs, etc., I still am not setting a file path correctly. Here's what I've done: I set up a few stocks in my Portfolios under List 1 to download. It downloads historical data from the website and displays the symbols along with prices, etc. So far, so good. I selected Stocks>Set Historical Quote file path.... and the window for setting the path displays. I made a folder called HistoricalQuotes under folder "M-C". I set the file path as "c:\M-C\HistoricalQuotes\ in the text box on the left. I set ".txt" in the text box on the right. I noticed that in your example it showed "c:\histfolder\as SYMBOL v.txt. I've tried the file path as I wrote it in 2 above and as you wrote it in your example with the "as" and "v". It would not download. I then checked the file "FilePathHIST.txt" in the folder "M-C". It showed the following on one line: 'uSa88UsA,c:\M-C\HistoricalQuotes\,.txt, Also, the folder "HistoricalQuotes" is empty. My PC uses Windows XP. 1. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct it? 2. Are the "as" and "v" in your example file path a requirement of your code? Yahoo!
