Hello Kathryn, I'm sure Tom would be able to answer you question but he is either in or on the way to Watkins Glen to race his cat. It sounds to me like the date is set wrong on your computer, or you installed over a week ago and are now just trying set up Newport. What I would do is: 1. delete your Newport files that now exist. 2. Check the date on you computer to verify its accuracy. 3. Reinstall Newport 4. Immediately add at least one stock in the maintenance menu. Hope this helps Bernie

Hi Kathy, Good to see your smiling electrons here. How's life in the PNW these days? I think the answer is to delete the *.HST files from your computer. The date is stored in the STOCK.NPT file as the first line in that file. It's a numerical equivalent of the date. Maybe Bob Norman can help us out on how to fix this. I understand the problem, but haven't faced it myself. It would appear that you have deleted ALL stocks from your portf. some time ago and haven't had a reason to update, since there's just an empty portf. there. STOCK.NPT still thinks there's something to update, and has stored the old date in computerese. If you can change the date to be the current week, then all should be well. Bernie's suggestion of re-installing will write a new STOCK.NPT with a new date, so that will also help. I'm uncertain why you've not been able to update Newport to the Win version. Maybe a flawed file. Again, Bob Norman can probably help. Best regards, Tom
