mldownloader
when you click on the list
you must see all the download  securities
when you click on a security, you must see all the data of the security
i can not understand your problem
what data are you downloading?

create a new list with one securitie ex BCON
and download  (select historical)

it won´t work :(:( I created a new list with just BCON in it. I download the historical data and it says it downloaded data... but nothing is there... just nothing..
If I hit F5 to update it works perfectly... but what good is data from today without the historical data?!

hazy

send me the test mld file at
[email protected]

il will test it with my MLDOWNLOADER

by me its work perfect with the process that you describe

nikao

so I stil don't have the historical data .. (well.. I have..but can't find them :P )... please help (one more time?)

Nikao,

Did you get the End-of-Day Data CD from Metastock?  The one that I got years ago says that it has five years of historical data on 27,000 stocks.  I think I had to copy that CD to my hard drive, then I could install the "Equis Downloader for Reuters DataLink Update" from a floppy disk. 

It sounds like you're missing the means to obtain the historical data (beyond one day).  ???

Hi Melf,

Right now Im using MLDownloader to get the data to use in MetaStock. Hazy is helping me out currently, but at this moment its a MLDownloader problem, not a MetaStock one :)
