Best of luck to you and your organization. May the bugs be easily traceable and the problems easy to fix.

Amen to Tim's statement.

The AS/400 run went pretty good! A few of the stores lost some registers in werid and wonderful ways , but no big disaster. Our payroll system is another story!!!!!!!!

Yeah, ditto. Our payroll system was converted to 4 digit years in 1998, but it's a basket case even without Y2K. Next year (assuming we have power), I'm going to write a brand new payroll system from scratch (because the county doesn't want to spend the money to buy one. *sigh*).
