The Quotes Plus VB 6.0 example 4 shows the following code for getting
Quarterly earnings and revenues from the Quotes Plus database. I
haven't converted example 4 for use with the 2005 version of VB.net yet
so I can't predict it will work for you. But hopefully the code will
provide you some hints towards answering your question. Qtr is a
negative number. Quotes Plus uses a similar scheme for indexing
earnings as it does for indexing closing prices.

qpRevEps.Symbol = Symbol
'Earnings Per Share
DisplayDataNumber qpRevEps.Earnings(Qtr), IDC_EPS
'Revenues
DisplayDataNumber qpRevEps.Revenues(Qtr), IDC_SALES
'12 Month Sales Change
DisplayDataNumber qpRevEps.SalesChange12Month(Qtr), IDC_12SALES
'12 Month EPS Change
DisplayDataNumber qpRevEps.EarningsChange12Month(Qtr), IDC_12EPS
