I use a couple of layouts that has 9 charts per layout and are all using the same “Default” template. My question is, is their anyway I can make changes to the “Default” template that would automatically apply to the rest of the charts that use that template without having to manually change each chart?

Thanks for the reply h...but your reply leads me to another question. Everytime I open a new security and just click on the open button (without using the pull-down to select template) it seems to use what ever template it feels like using at the time. It's like its cycling through my different templates. How can I get MetaStock to always use the same template when it opens a stock without having to always choose that template? Thanks, Steven

hey steve.... it only appears to be cycling thru.... thats just the smart chart feature applying the last set of instructions for that chart or if a virgin chart , applying the default templates instructions.... if you use meta intensely and have not already used pyradius's suggestion, hold up abit...... his thoughts will work perfectly, however for intense users i might have a slightly better way.... will post tonite or tommorrow, depending on how much of a beatin the market dishes out today..... its hard for me to cry and type at the same time.....h
