Here is the blurb about the entire OnMark2000 product suite from Viasoft's webpage. ******* What is Viasoft's solution for the distributed year 2000 crisis? Viasoft's OnMark 2000TM provides a comprehensive solution for the desktop and client/server year 2000 challenge. The integrated solution components: ..OnMark 2000 Survey automates PC hardware/software inventory. ..OnMark 2000 Assess analyzes year 2000 impact on desktop hardware (BIOS) and software (spreadsheets, databases and text files). ..OnMark 2000 Workbench for Excel provides discovery and impact analysis for year 2000 problems in Excel spreadsheets. ..OnMark 2000 Workbenches analyze, plan and help to remediate year 2000 problems in client/server applications written in C/C++, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder and UNIX shell scripts. ..VIA/AutoTest delivers automated, multiplatform, functional equivalence testing. *************** I think the key phrase is "help to remediate". It doesn't fix the source bugs. TED

I can't answer any detailed questions about the Viasoft product, maybe TED knows more.

John: Re: does the Viasoft product fix the code ... Well, after having been severely beaten about the head and shoulders by one of my contacts from the vast techie network, I have to retract my statement that the Viasoft OnMark toolset doesn't fix the code. Spreadsheet cells are supported at the remediation level. Each Y2K impacted spreadsheet cell can be automatically corrected one at a time, or the entire spreadsheet can be corrected at once. That's what I get for reading marketing stuff and trying to interpret it. So, for the end user, this is terrific news. Regards, TED
