Don,
Are you downloading and updating prices from Yahoo as well? I was
curious about trying this with the Yahoo fundamental data into the QP
database but I ran into the issue that when I tried to maintain
longer price histories than what was available from QP by selecting
local db setting the updates stopped from the QP API. When converted
back to QP as the data source the the shorter period QP data streams
were restored and the previous data lost. I thought the same thing
would happen with the fundamental data but perhaps I do not have the
correct settings to maintain both in the same db.
Regards,
Duke Jones, CMT
