Whats the easiest way to do this in easylanguage (multicharts)? Quotemanager ascii mapping is not updating, DDE is unreliable and not working. I'm leaning toward ELCollections and ADE, however I've not seen an example of this being done... seems very basic. My file is simple 10/10/2011, 12:22, 1.22 I just want to feed that to a chart for data and update my txt file with another program. thanks for any suggestions Matt
