MY FIRST POST WAS NOT COMPLETE, Ron D
JamesJunkmail of our Dallas AmibrokerNT board was
kind enough to post the below instructions for setting up the new
YahooHemscott sectors and industries.
I successfully got to the place that
said >>The Windows Script Host window will display Script
Started.
Click OK. WHEN I CLICKED OK, it told me that it could not find the
filepath >>C:\Program
Files\AmiBroker\Scripts\ImportIndustryTickers.js.
There were no
errors in the filepath, but I reinstalled the filepath again anyway, and I still
get the runtime error of NO FILEPATH.
All of these
steps seemed to be working perfectly when I did the
procedure.
If any of you
decide to try doing this also, I would appreciate hearing what you think I am
doing wrong. You might want to rewrite the procedure geared to computer
users who posess a very low level of computer skills. Thanks, Ron
