I recently downloaded BAM350.ZIP from one of the mail servers. After playing with it a while, setting up an account, etc, I went and watched a movie. When I came back and tried to load the data, I received a wrong version error. I could find no mention of what this might be in the docs. I dont know if this is a bug, or if the program is crippleware, or whatever. Has anyone else tried this program? The problem is easy to fix. Each record stores the version number, 3.00. However, the program version is 3.5. Changing the 3.00 to 3.50 in my test file fixed the problem, but of course, adding more transactions adds the wrong version number and you are back at the beginning. This seems like a really wierd problem. I mean, it would seem to be impossible not to find this as a bug the second time you executed the program. I could not find an email address for the author in the docs supplied. Any comments, help appreciated. Kelly zklf0b@hou.amoco.com
