If you are getting the following error message in OmniTrader, here are the instructions to resolve it.

Error -2146232832: Illegal characters in path.
Occurred in routine 2522 - modTasks.bas .DownloadDataBatch

There was a bad index symbol on the server that was introduced by our data vendor. We fixed it on the server, but if you had already downloaded data when it was introduced you will be seeing this error. There are 2 ways for customers to fix this. Both are listed below.

Quickest Fix:
1. Close OmniTrader and browse to the following location on your computer C:\Program Files (x86)\Nirvana\OT2024\Dlls
2. In the DLL's folder locate and Double click in the icon called OMNIDATASETTINGS.exe
3. In the OmniDataSettings window that opens, click the ADD button under User Quotes/Splits Requests.
4. In the Add Server Request window that opens, click the Drop down menu next to DATE and select the date 2/13/25 and click ADD
5. Then click Save in the OmniData Settings Window, and then click the CLOSE button to exit the app.
6. Next Re-open OmniTrader. If you get a popup message requesting to do Data Maintenance, decline it and close that dialog box.
7. Then Click the TO DO LIST button and in the ToDoList Window, Click the Perform Selected Tasks button to download the latest data and let the whole process complete. Once the ToDoList data download process completes, the error problem should be resolved.



Or Reinstall OmniData. This step is not necessary if the above fix was successful.

Here are the steps to re-install your new OmniData installation.

1. Close OmniTrader, then Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Nirvana, and delete the “OmniData” folder.
2. Then click the link below to download the latest OmniData install: https://www.omnitrader.com/currentclients/OmniData/index.asp
3. Log-in with your Nirvana ID and Password.
4. Choose either Stocks, Indexes, Options & Funds or Stocks and Indexes only.
5. Click INSTALL to start the download of the installation file.
6. Once the download completes, run the file to launch the Install Shield Wizard.
7. When the Install Shield Wizard prompts you to choose either (REPAIR, MODIFY OR REMOVE), choose “REPAIR” and click NEXT.
8. After choosing REPAIR wait for the install to complete.
9. Then Launch OmniTrader. When asked if you would like to restore your custom scans from the automatic backup, choose YES.
10. Run the “ToDoList” to get the latest updated data.
