Exporting TeleChart 2005/2007 data to the v3 data format

In TeleChart 2005, click Databank | Smart Export, then click the TeleChart Version 3 button.   After the Database Export to TC2000 Ver 3 window appears, select the watchlist to export ("Dow Jones 30 Industrial Component Stocks" is shown here).   Enter the path where you want the files exported to.  The default destination (C:\Program Files\TeleChart\User\TCV3) is suitable.   Using the slide tab, select the number of days to export (750 is suitable for InsiderTA).   Put a check mark in the box labeled "Automatically run following databank updates" box. Click the Smart Export button.

If you get a RUNTIME 91 or RUNTIME 440 error when exporting, Worden recommends you try changing the contents of the Data Files Path to a new directory. The export utility will create the new directory for you. Then click the Smart Export button again.

The above steps will produce TC2000 data in the ver 3 format (that is, data will be stored in single-lettered subdirectories beneath the selected Data Files Path). Assuming you used the above example and chose the Data Files Path to be C:\Program Files\TeleChart\User\TCV3\. Then...

• all symbols beginning with the letter "A" would reside in a subfolder \A
• all symbols beginning with the letter "B" would reside in a subfolder \B
• all symbols beginning with the letter "C" would reside in a subfolder \C

• and so forth, all the way to the letter "Z"...

• c:\Program Files\TeleChart\User\TCV3\A\*.NDX
• c:\Program Files\TeleChart\User\TCV3\B\*.NDX
• c:\Program Files\TeleChart\User\TCV3\C\*.NDX

• and so forth, all the way to...
  
  c:\Program Files\TeleChart\User\TCV3\Z\*.NDX
