Edgarki, For your problem with the HELP function, maybe this is the solution :

Transferred it over from my XP 32 bit to Win7 64bit. The only drawback is that I could not use Help to search for an answer to my query. As MetaStock v9 was written for 32 bit version. So I switch over to MetaStock v11 rather than v12. I don't see much difference between v9 & v11. I stayed away from v12 because it would not allow me to keep my own local data. PS: How do you export / import the .dta files etc etc. I certainly would like to be able to carry over my favourites. I got around this problem by using Windows to "copy & paste". I copied my metastock data in C drive from the XP & pasted it in the MetaStock data folder in C drive on the new computer after installing MetaStock. That carried over any comments & observations I had recorded on any security. BTW, is there any MetaStock user group in Sydney? I would like to learn more about using MetaStock & in particular how to write my own exploration program.

Better to export your .dta files, then import them, rather than copy over.

I am moving to a Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) computer. Reuters Datalink is my data provider. Before I do the move, I have several questions: 1. Will 10.1c EOD run on Windows 7 64 bit? 2. I have my original CD. Should I just use that to do the installation, or is there a better way? 3. I want to make sure that all of indicators, explorations, experts, favorites, etc. get copied to the new computer. My Ver 10 manual says if I am updating [which I am not] I should copy MS10FORM.DTA, MS10PREF.DTA, MS10EXPL.DTA or MS10EXPT.DTA AND ST10DATA.MDB. 4. I have both MS10EXPL.DTA and MS10EXPT.DTA on my XP. EXPL is a much larger file, but EXPT was updated much more recently. Should I copy over both of them? 5. I don't have a MS10PREF.DTA on my XP. Why is that? 6. Are there other files that I need to copy over? 7. Should I do the install first, and then copy over the files, or vice versa? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Harry
