Hi Steve, All PC's at the office were set to 01/03/2000 after 6:00 pm by Sys Admin last night except mine. I thought we were closing out the year tonight in stead of yesterday. See I'm always the last to know. So today we will find out if any and what kind of problems we have. As for me, I am going in and back up all major files this morning. Then I will test my back up's on a different PC that has the new date and once I'm satisfied I will then move my date forward. For example the last time that I backed up Newport files, I went through three floppies before I had a working copy. I don't know if it was the floppies, my hardware, me, Newport or some combination that was the problem. I keep a an extra Newport on my desk top for trial & error purposes. So when Jhende put us on alert I shut down all other app's and ran my test. I don't know how you could confirm that the software is Y2K functional without changing the date. When you log in and change the date, you get the warning that the system date will be advanced. Maybe Bob knows of some other trick. Larry, I am Impressed with your ability to buy quality over price. This is something I need to work on. Looks like your 800 pound Gorilla may soon be a bargain at a $1.00 per pound. :>) Indirectly I found that some of my M-funds do own QCOM. I want to wish a safe & Happy New Year to all the Fine Folks on the Best Thread at SI. Keith

Hi Steve v1.22 should be OK. Just be sure the date format is set correctly to M/d/yy in the Regional Settings of Control Panel. I don't know that versions prior to 1.22 are not OK, but it seemed to fix John's problem, so if anyone has a problem, let me know and I'll send you 1.22. There were some very minor bug fixes in 1.22 and I don't recall making any changes to the login date screen, but with all of the different processors and versions of Windows out there, it may be just some combinations that are affected.
