Yes "Open Bloomberg" allows restricted access to their data services on a PC on a Lan rather than on a dumb Bloomberg terminal.

The problem with their activeX data control is supposedly fixed and in testing for release in Feb. I'll re-attack the problem then. Seems that the asynchronous "Data Event" was not exposed for Fox to take advantage of.

I was intrigued by Vin Miller's suggestion that maybe EVENTHANDLER() might be the solution. But will wait till Feb.

Thanks Terry
