AugustWest,
This is not much of a help, but I downloaded the 5.0 to 6.5 upgrade with IE 4.0 with no problems, so they are giving you a bum steer on the IE 5.0 requirement. I'm having the same problem everyone else is having of course, with the 6.5 version not reading MS data correctly after 1/1/2000. I read somewhere a disclaimer that they had made that they hadn't yet received the file format that MS Downloader 6.52 was going to use and that's the downloader I use to get data off of Profit Direct in MS format. The big advantage of having data stored in MS format rather than WOW format, to answer a question somebody else asked a while ago, is that almost all other programs will read MS format since it's something of a standard. Nothing else reads WOW format. I learned WOW before I learned MS, so I still am more familiar with WOW syntax. It would be nice if they would get this straightened out.

What format does WOW use to denote 1/3/00? In other words, why does 1/3/2000 come up as some date in 1993? Goofy.

Bob
