    andy,
    i'll pass along the suggestion.

    kicking,
    it probably has to do with the link/place 1.3 and 1.4 are located on your PC. someone here may know how to change the link, in the meantime, try tech support on our web site or via the help desk.

    This may sound stupid, but do the new pages have contracts listed on them? TWS will not save empty pages (or blank lines at the end of pages).

  3. alanm,

    you are right there were no contracts on the new pages. Thanks for the tip.

    If you are running the standalone version of TWS, right click on your desktop shortcut and select "properties". The "target" line" has to be changed to point to the new java.

  5. Thanks but I don't know what to put exactly as target. Also I would like to say this new JRE 1.4 has caused me problems with the Prophetfinance java charts I was no longer able to load the applet, with Live Charts it takes more time to load and it looks different too. So I unchecked JRE1.4 as default for IE. Good thing I kept the 1.3. Why does IB ask us to download POS software? I personally have other things to do than playing around with upgrades and software downloads.

    This is what I have:

    "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\bin\javaw.exe" -jar C:\Apps\jts\jts.jar C:\Apps\jts

    By the way, I'm very satisfied with IB but they are not for everyone.
