I just went to that address. There is no mention of a patch for our new version 6.5. I looked around at the site but found nothing about it. I called them and died on hold (my dime, of course). I just sent them some very polite e-mail explaining that the new version isn't reading data for January 3, 2000. I'll let all know what comes from that. Ken

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
