A special MetaStock key is available to people on request if they wish to run BullCharts using MetaStock data. Contact BullCharts support if you would like a key.

Once you've entered the key into BullCharts, MetaStock becomes a datasource option in the Data tab of preferences. When you select this, youcan enter your top-level MetaStock folder - then BullCharts will run inMetaStock mode and will load securities from that folde instead of fromthe BullStore database.

Once the key is ented, you also get a Open Metastock option in the Filemenu, so you can load metastock data while still remaining inBullSystems mode.

I don't think WinXP ever explained why, otherwise I would have remembered something.

I actually use Bullcharts in Metastock mode. Does this mean I don't need SQL server?

Does it say why the SQL server needs to close?

The SQL Server stores all the stock-price data used by BullCharts(well, when it's not in MetaStock mode), and BullCharts should start itautomatically whenever it's needed.

I know the SQL server needs to be stopped when the stock database isbeing removed or altered (when uninstalling or upgrading BullCharts),but other than that it shouldn't have to close.

When using Bullchart I frequently get a message saying that the MSSQLserver needs to close, so I just close and restart it. This hashappened numerous times and I'm starting to wonder what this SQL thingdoes. Bullcharts seems to work OK when I'm too lazy to turn SQL back on.]]> Tue, 21 Dec 2004 10:37:08 +0000 http://www.bullcharts.com.au/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82&PID=291#291
