Does anyone know how to create a directory of securities (with a valid master file) from a saved exploration? I have about 1300 stocks in my 'securities' folder and this is waht I scan with explorer. One of the scans generates a list of around 250 stocks whichh I have saved as an exploration in favorites but I understand it saves a list but not the data files themselves with a 'Master' file for the 250 stock list which is what I need to use Quickchart program to flip through them rapidly. Any ideas? Will Downloader effect this conversion if I use it properly. Will Metaload do this? It seems mouse right click and save only allows the creation of a new "favourites' file from which I am not aware of any way of creating an actual group of physical data files which can be saved into another directory and accessed by another program which is what I need to do. Thanks in advance for any help - have tried manual and search here.

Patrick, thanks for the reply, unfortunately I am getting stuck at the 'copy' stage, there seems to be no way of copying the highlighted/selected securities - no right click option and Ctrl C won't do it either. Please advise as to what I am missing................TIA

Thanks hayseed, that nailed it, what I was doing wrong was trying to save the securities file list rather than the results of the exploration. Now I can proceed as Patrick suggested :mrgreen:
