I'm having problems using ASCII importer to fill the AUX fields. My database is EOD using the Quotes-Plus plug-in. The Aux data appears (in the Quote Editor) but the volume field gets clobbered and set to zero. Fields input include: ticker, date, close, Aux1, Aux2. If I didn't include close, importer would not accept it as a quotes update and wanted noquotes. Do I have to include all the quote data (O,H,L,C,V) just to import Aux1 & Aux2?
