After reading all the posts, I believe it
really doesn't matter how much data is used in the composites. Just backtest
the RESULTING composites over the period you want, which does work with the
date range.

No need for the apology..I have tried everything else
,it was worth a shot...I think Pauls idea was probably the fix,though it should
not have to be coded.Unfortunately.I got sidetracked on DataPurify and Quote
Editor.I cant get quote editor to function and add missing quotations.As you
probably know,there is no add button in Q.E,and you need to click on the editor
anywhere but on NEW to add...Unfortunately,that doesnt work either...
I am starting to think building industries and sectors
is not meant to be:)
