After running a scan, the report file shows a date two year's earlier then it should.  How is this corrected?  Thanks, Jim.

It isn't check your system date and correct if required.

Though if the date was incorrect then I would have expected you to see warnings about it.

Is it the date the file was created you are talking about or the contents of it ?
If you don't select 'Overwrite existing' then, 1. the file gets very large and 2. it retains information on all previous scans.

As I said, I ran a scan on 06/28/07 and the report file (date of findings) had the date 07/25/05.  Nearly two years prior to my scan.  Thanks, Jim.

DavidR;

Disregard the last post please.  I understand your explanation now, and everything is fine and dandy.  Thanks for your help.  Jim.

Your welcome.

I assume it is the cumulative effect of older scans being added to the file rather than overwriting the existing one, the file must have been massive ;D
