Hi...
1) MS opens with the last screen that was saved upon exit.
Is there a way that I can set something so that if I enter in offline mode MS knows to open the last screen I saved while in offline mode OR if I open up the online mode use the screen that was saved the last time I was using the online mode...? :?
2) Working with some varibles and conditions and would like to know if you see any problem if a minus sign is used in these guys?
Example:
Var, Var-1, Var-2...etc
Cond, Cond-1, Cond-2...etc
I'm trying to use these much like the H, (H,-1) (H,-2)...etc. so they match the syntax of MS's today, yesterday, two days ago...etc. Do you see where this might cause me a problem.
Thanks, and you all have a great weekend. :D
Using v8 if it makes a difference.

Hey Scrutch-
Welcome to the forums!
For the workspace questions, check out TOOLS | OPTIONS | GENERAL and set your preference for 'Restore workspace on startup'. I'm assuming it is available in v8, I'm using v9.
For your variable syntax question, be careful. H-1 and ref(H,-1) are totally different. If you are trying to get the high from one day ago use ref(H,-1) . If you want to subtract 1 from the current high use H-1.

Thanks for the reply...
The Tools/Options/General...workspace is set to restore workspace on startup. The problem is after closing my real time charts when I open MS offline I get all the errors associated with trying to open a real time chart because I'm not connected to my data provider. After closing all the error dialogs, then I can open up my EOD charts and things work fine. When I save all these EOD charts and reopen MS online the EOD charts are still there but I don't have a real data feed for them so they must be closed and the intraday charts I follow need to be opened. Kind of a pain. :(
Yes, I'm aware of the ref(H,-1) being different than High-1...Just didn't put the ref guy in the above. :oops: The question is do you think that using a mimus sign like: Var-1:=(yada...yada...yada) will create any problems with MS?

OK... I'm starting to get it. In offline mode you will not be able to access any dataondemand charts or indicators... even if you save them as a separate chart (vs smart chart). If you d/l EOD with the Downloader, you can of course get this to work offline. Unfortunately, I do not see a way around it. Maybe other forum members know of a solution.
Using Var-1:= is not permitted as a label. For example, A-1:=CLOSE will produce an error. If you think about it, it makes sense, because in order to call your label you'd have to write A-1 which would be confused with a subtraction function.

Maybe other forum members know of a solution. Awhh, just as I thought although I was holding out for setting a jumper someplace that would overcome this problem.

Thought this would be the answer, didn't try it but it made sense that it would be very confusing to MSFL... Thanks for the reply g_stockman and you have a great weekend. :D
