Import Error

[ekyle]

Hi, I'm trying to import data from Bloomberg. I've never had any issues fetching data, and can currently import simple indexes like spx, equities etc, but am having trouble with certain indexes. When I try to fetch from bloomberg I get the following error: "Database Error: Bloomberg library error: 'StartIndex cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: startIndex'. I haven't seen this before and could not find any similar posts about this specific error. Is there a way to get around it? I've tried fiddling with my sample dates and frequencies but nothing seems to work.

Thanks
