Thanks. This works. I'll try to get Yahoo to work as well if I have time. Both have a lot of indicators to look at.

I tried the YAHOO stock screener for volume and set the criteria to >= 1m. But so far I can't type in more than the top 99 out of over 1000. Can you tell me how I can type in, say, 1000? Thanks
