Hmm ... 2000 individual stocks ? I guess just typing in the symbols could take a while !
I thought stalker just added the latest date if you selected Quote. History allows you to specify dates but I think that overwrites what you already have. Does Auto History just append to what you already have ? The safest way is to go to the hidden qtstalker directory and copy the files under /data0/data/Stocks/Yahoo/US (or wherever you have them) to another location. Then you can try out the options I just mentioned without overwriting your only data. I have sometimes had to fetch data from scratch, say on the DJIA back to 1928 plus lots of similar indexes, and I just went away while it did its thing. The time was manageable. Let me know if this helps. I have found Very Little documentation out there and so had to figure out all this myself.
