Correct. As stated in my response, they do only work with a
TICKER,O,H,L,C,V CSV file.
I do use JM Tech Visual DialogScript Windows 95 scripts for
preprocessing of this kind where needed.

Great, however the original poster was not accurate enough about
the "historical database". My response is obviously assuming a
Metastock historical database.
If this is the case, how would you integrate the Access and Metastock
databases (splits, delisting, symbol modification, etc) ?
