- 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.
