Thanks
Tomasz,
Perhaps you are right and it will just solve one problem but create
another...
My
problem is that i work on and use many different systems, from Tick to EOD data,
when i apply EOD formulas in a Tick environment my system can/may lock up,
especially when eSignal is On. I have many afl procedures that work fine in
one data base but not in another, the same formulas being accessible from each
Data base can cause problems. I spend a significant amount of time every day
hitting keys and trying CTRL-ALT-DEL (doesn't always work) to get out of
situations where Code and data base, or code and AA operation selected, are
incompatible. A complete hardware reboot is often the quickest way to get going
again.
I
know, it is all because i hit the keys too quickly... and a feeble mind :-) If i
always did everything the right way there would be no
problem.
best
regards,
herman
Hello,
You can install AB multiple times into
completely separate locations (not recommended because of all additional work
it requires
when installing updates) and have separate
shortcuts to each installation.
Alterative is to setup several folders with
different "START IN" property. "Start IN" defines the "CURRENT WORKING
DIRECTORY"
where AmiBroker looks for the files (including the preferences and all other config
files). This will allow you to have one installation
but multiple working folders. And each folder
that normally exists inside "AmiBroker" folder will need to be
creaded.
This includes "Formulas" subfolder.
But frankly Herman, you should think twice about
this. Having everything separate means that you will have multiple
copies
of everythign and each editing you will need to
do more than once. This greatly increases the time just maintaining
everything
Best regards,
Tomasz

Starting AB with different data bases
It
is not just the icon, renaming these would be good enough for me.
I
want to start each instance of AmiBroker with a different database, each
instance has a different purpose, and right now after each startup i have to
selected a different data base. i suppose what i need is to be able to
specify the dataSource (as in preferences) on the command line...I think i
must be doing something dumb or am missing ... time to read the Help once
more :-)
I
suppose i could create separate directories/folders for different AmiBroker
DataBases, that way everything would be specific to the DB used.Then make
separate icons for each... In preferences i could specify where the afl
files are located, those folders could be independent of the regular
AmiBroker folders... that should work just great! Thanks guys for
making the old neurons click! Talking to the wall doesn't always
work...hmm...now to get the formula tree root path to
work...

To clarify, rightclick choose "Properties"
then "Change Icon". You can select an exe or dll to browse for new icons.
Not all contain icons though.

Starting AB with different data bases
Create a new AB shortcut on your
desktop, then right click & choose "Change Icon" Icons are usually
stored in the exe or a .dll. You can browse Esignal, etc for icons, or
choose from default Windows icons, or even create your own using an icon
editor.

Starting AB with different data bases
Hello,
would
anybody know how to create different icons on the DeskTop that start
AB with different databases? I would like a variety of icons to start
of with, for example, IB data, eSignal data, QP2 data, Tick data, etc.
So that on start up they are loaded with relevant code/Indicators and
data base.
thanks for
any ideas!
herman.
