[EquisMetaStock Group] security() function problem

Trading Reference Links

I have the following custom indicator:

Security("vix--x",(C- Mov(C,10,S))/Mov(C,10,S))

where vix--x is the name of vix data used by my data vendor TC2000;
the function to operate on the vix data is generate the percentage 
of the current vix relative to its 10 day moving average.

I plot it in an inner window with another base security, e.g. with 
qqq being the base security.  This indicator displays with correct 
values when initially opened in daily bars.  If I change to display 
the base security in weekly bars, everything is still correct.  
However, if I change back to daily bars (nothing changed since I 
went from daily to weekly), then this security() indicator shows a 
graph that is wrong, i.e. it shows a horizontal line at zero with 
very few deviations from zero.  After that I cannot get the security
() indiator to display correctly in daily data except by closing 
metastock program and restarting it.  Then security() indicator will 
again display correct data.  I also have other inner windows open 
during the daily-weekly-daily changes, and all other indicators 
appear to work correctly.

I am using EOD metastock 8.01 on a computer running XP.  Lots of 
free RAM and hard drive space are available while metastock is 
running.  My system is quite stable.

All data for stocks, qqq, vix--x, etc. are stored in the same 
directory and the basic data looks to be good.  I have data going 
back for over 5 years and typically display/load only about 6 months 
of EOD data.

Any suggestions on a cure?
