When using Bullchart I frequently get a message saying that the MSSQL
server needs to close, so I just close and restart it. This has
happened numerous times and I'm starting to wonder what this SQL thing
does. Bullcharts seems to work OK when I'm too lazy to turn SQL back on.

Does it say why the SQL server needs to close?
The SQL Server stores all the stock-price data used by BullCharts
(well, when it's not in MetaStock mode), and BullCharts should start it
automatically whenever it's needed.
I know the SQL server needs to be stopped when the stock database is
being removed or altered (when uninstalling or upgrading BullCharts),
but other than that it shouldn't have to close.

I don't think WinXP ever explained why, otherwise I would have remembered something.
I actually use Bullcharts in Metastock mode. Does this mean I don't need SQL server?

What is this Metastock mode?

A special MetaStock key is available to people on request if they wish to run BullCharts using MetaStock data. http://www.bullcharts.com.au/contact.asp - Contact BullCharts support if you would like a key.
Once you've entered the key into BullCharts, MetaStock becomes a data
source option in the Data tab of preferences. When you select this, you
can enter your top-level MetaStock folder - then BullCharts will run in
MetaStock mode and will load securities from that folde instead of from
the BullStore database.
Once the key is ented, you also get a Open Metastock option in the File
menu, so you can load metastock data while still remaining in
BullSystems mode.
