Cleanup FAQ
Q: Near the end of the Cleanup
installation, I get the following message: Error processing
command Toolbar Add c:\Program Files\DeBry\Cleanup.exe, Cleanup. Cannot
open the custom toolbar storage file. It is either locked or Metastock has
not been installed yet. What does this mean?
A: The
installation of the Cleanup tool succeeded, but an attempt to add a
toolbar button to the custom toolbar in MetaStock failed, probably because
you have a version of MetaStock previous to 7.0. Cleanup is
installed and will work properly.
Q: I have just loaded Cleanup and
tried to delete the older Metastock data, i.e. I have used "only
delete stocks not updated for at least 30 days". The result is
that no stocks conform to the delete criteria. (although when I look at
the data there is indeed many hundreds).
A: This is a problem unique to our
Australian customers. It seems that an Australian data vendor still
"updates" stocks that have stopped trading, using the close from
the last day of trading (so there might be 90 days with the exact same
closing price). Cleanup can't tell that this is bogus data.
You can see if this is the case by opening a datasheet in the
DownLoader. You could try deleting these securities by using the
minimum volume setting (although that might delete securities you
want). Or you may have to delete these securities by hand.
