Anyone can recommend a good site to deal with? Thanx, Eugene.

Anyone can recommend a good site to deal with? I haven't got anything to say about which site, but how are you planning to do it? You could use web services, or use something to extract the info from the actual online html pages. The latter is more vulnerable to changes in the page format and layout, and might be more work to parse properly. I just mention this because your decision on this might influence what kind of sites you need to look for. HTH, Lauchlan M Back to top Eugene V.

I've used it to such quotes into a Delphi app. In fact I'm writing a Delphi interface to the DLL. If your'e interested in the Delphi interface let me know and I'll speed up the work. I've been slack on it lately. Check it out and tell Jerry I sent you: http://www.esquotes.dll Cheers, Trevor "Eugene V.

Well, they are free quotes so they not only delayed by 20 mins but are also intended only for personal use. Xignite has some paid options too and I think they are near real-time. Real-time as in Level 1 etc tend to be very expensive and are subject to lot of conditions. We have also used http://www.trackdata.com/dial_data.html for paid services, although they have a telnet interface. I think they are real-time.
