    Time and Date Stamp Displays as 1/1/2000 when trying to load a file

    After posting an *.NC file it shows all the correct attributes when you view the file from everywhere except when you try to select it from Load Program in Mach3. When you hover the cursor over the file name it shows the creation date as 1/1/2000 and a time. For instance my last file was last modified 5/1/2017 3:12:25pm. In Mach3/Load Programs it is shown as 1/1/2000 2:13am Any thoughts on how to rectify this?

    Thanks

    Does the file not load properly?

    What is your computer clock set at? Maybe a dead BIOS battery?

    The computer clock is correct and the time stamps on the files are correct. It just displays incorrectly as described above.

    What are you creating the files with that have this issue?
    Personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Date created and Date Modified are 2 DIFFERENT data fields.

    Just a thought, (;-) TP

    Are you running maybe a very old computer on the CNC machine and it was not updated for Y2K?

    Of course you are correct. I should have said Date Modified in both cases.
