Bruce, I think I got the Schwab SSPRO connection problem figured out. Don't know what else to do.... except the obvious (now it's obvious). Good bye Schwab. Hello Scottrade. Opened an account today. Had to change some "Tools > Internet Options" to get their trading platform to load. Thought that might be the magic solution to get SSPro to work, buat still couldn't connect. But now I really don't care. BOREALIS
