Hello,
I wan't to convert metastock-data to asccii automatically over VBA in MS Access.
For Example Telechart provides an API which I can use in MS-Access (after I referenced it)
Does Metastock provide somewhat something similar??
And where could I get it??
regards
Reinhard

You should post questions like this into the MetaStock Developer's Kit Forum.
It can be found here (right from the Index) http://forum.equis.com/viewforum.php?f=17
If you get the MetaStock Developer's Kit, it will come with MSFL.
MSFL allows you to read the MetaStock data files in a program you write.
The program you write can then do things with the information such as write to an MS Access database.
Is this what you're looking to do?
If not, please provide more information.
You can contact Equis Sales at sales@equis.com for ordering information.

Hey forex-informer-
I think that what you are describing is posible, but I'm not clear about how you expect to convert the MS data. Are you talking about receiving live data into MS Access? or, periodic updates? Intraday or EOD? I have done a fair amount of work with this type of data transfer and find that VBA is restrictive, and VB.NET is not mentioned at all in the MDK manual- although it can be used with some research and a little elbow grease. Still, it won't produce a suitable external dll. Unless you are wanting to convert raw data directly from the MS format, you could fairly easily use VBA to gain access to MS price info via DDE and transfer the data to Access via an Excel VBA macro. It's a clumsy approach, but it should work.
Just a thought.
