Brian,
   Thanks very much. Everything worked as you suggested although the
quantstrat install failed the first time through as apparently it was
looking for the 'foreach' package which I did not have installed. Once
that was installed via R-Studio it worked fine and my version of Guy
Yolin's code is at least functioning now.

   I appreciate the fast response. Thanks!

Cheers,
Mark
