Hi John This isn't a Y2K problem. As far as we can tell Newport is Y2K compliant if your computer is Y2K compliant. My guess - without having all of the details - is that your prices are not updated for the week, so Newport thinks you are trying to make a trade on what it considers a future and illogical date. Just advancing the computer date will not advance Newport's internal date. That is only advanced when you do the update for the week. Question: Why did you put in a 2000 date instead of the actual trade date? Bob

Hi John, on the date change? I changed my date to 01/02/2000 in NEWPORT but now it is telling me my date is not valid. Have you had this problem ? Where you successful at changing the date when you logged on to Newport? It would present you with a warning stating that your system date was being reset. Then after you updated your info and logged off of Newport you would have to go in and correct the date on your PC. now it is telling me my date is not valid Can you provide more detail? Where is the "Now" point? Keith
