Anyone else have a problem with today's date in PP3? I just entered a postage expense that I accrued today, and when I entered the expense transaction into PP3, it put the date as 10/17/07. Really messed me up cause I was trying to figure out how I lost a day.

I've check my computer's date and time, and it's set to the correct date and time (including correct time zone). I'm on the phone right now with HO, but the guy I'm talking to hasn't heard about this. He's currently asking around if anyone else has heard about this happening.

Anyone else this happening to?

Well, the guy says he knows what happened, for what it's worth. My laptop runs on Vista, and even though I have the date/time set correctly, including the correct time zone, Vista runs on GMT time and it doesn't take into consideration that this computer is set to run at GMT -6:00 (Central time). So, according to PP3, it thinks I'm actually 6 hours ahead then I really am. Which sounds like just a bunch of hooey to me! Every other program I use that relies on the computers date/time setting reads it correctly, except for PP3. Doesn't sound like they plan on fixing this bug (and yes, it's a bug in my opinion) anytime soon.So those of you on Vista, watch those transaction dates!
 
That could really mess you up if you're submitting something close to a deadline! YIKES! I would call & make it known to HO that you're running Vista, if you are!
