BTW in case there are still people out there running 1.8d betas (build date prior to late February 1999--you see the build date by issuing the SHOW LICENSE command), there is no guarantee that the beta you are running is fully Y2K compliant. The only 1.8d builds that are known to be Y2K compliant are the release builds, late February 1999 and later. I say "late February" because depending on the platform the build date for the release build may be 26 Feb 1999 or later. So if you're still running a 1.8d beta, you also need to upgrade to the release build. L-Soft's Y2K FAQ is at http://www.lsoft.com/corporate/default.asp?item=y2k Nathan
