Market Depth data download error

I'm trying to download historical Market Depth files for contract NQM23_FUT_CME (June contract).
Since historical market depth data is only stored for 180 days, I loaded the chart with a date range 4-1-23 through 6-9-23.
I have "none" selected for continuous contract.

When I use "Download depth data from date-time" I get an error ...

"Error downloading historical market depth data for NQM23_FUT_CME. No market depth data files found. Path K:/cme_exchange_marketdepth.data/ 2023-09-30 8:59:01 308"

Why can't it find the data files?

We need to see more of the Message Log, the previous 20 lines or so. So we can see what particular date, data is being downloaded for.

There is no market depth data for this contract on that date because it never traded at that time:

That doesn't make sense. I right click on he beginning of the chart then select "download depth data from date-time".
I just did it again...I right clicked on 4-3-2023 and I got a pop-up to confirm 2023-04-03 then clicked "Yes" but I see in the message log "Download start date-time: 2023-06-30". See attached image.

Same thing happening for Sept (U) contract and Dec (Z) contract.
I right clicked to download from Sept 12 but the current day Oct 2 was the start date-time according to the message log.

Solved...

Sierra Chart Server Settings\General\Max Historical Market Depth Days to Download

In most other settings 0 means max but In this setting 0 means zero.

My setting was 0. Changed to 180 and now it downloads.
