old Master file still laying around in that directory. See if you have two
master files in that directory, through windows explorer. If you do see
which one is the valid one by adding a symbol to that directory in Metastock
then go back into windows explorer to that same directory and see which
master file increased in size. If you only have one master file you will
have to delete all of your data and recreate it. So, lets hope for the first
scenario.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Thank You,<BR><BR>Nirvana Support<BR><BR>At 11:51

<BLOCKQUOTE>Found an interesting feature in the "User Date"
file selection list. I double-clicked a directory with MetaStock(v6.5)
files in it. The file list displayed as requested but also included all
the files I deleted two weeks ago. It also had the incorrect end date
for the data. The date indicated 12/4/98 when the end date should have
been 12/21/98. I added several new files today and it found them ok. I
have OT v3.5r3 on a NT 4.0 platform. Lots of memory and disk space. Have

Could someone suggest where I might get good/clean tick data going
