Are you sure about this? I had tried to do this with V 6.x and it didn't

> If you are using DataOnDemand, MetaStock is downloading weekly or monthly
data that does not update until Friday. If you download daily data, and
apply your template/layout to the downloaded daily data, then MetaStock will
compress the daily data and give you a current weekly/monthly bar, rather
than from last Friday.
