Hi All, I am using Metastock ver 11.0 and downloader ver 11.0. I created a new intraday (hourly) security using downloader ver 11.0. the security is created with out any errors as i am able to open the same in downloader. However, I am unable to open the same in metastock, and no security is displayed in the open dialogue box. I used "smart chart" as File of type. When I change the file type in open dialogue box to "All files" it displays "F1.dat" instead of security name. can some one help me in this regard. many thanks for the help. regards, SNVK
