I bought a new computer. I am attempting to copy my numerous chart setups over to the new computer. It did not work because now it appears as though you require two digits for the year, i.e., instead of the chart symbol being MESZ1, it is now MESZ21.

Does this mean I have to re-build all my complex charts from scratch because of the new symbol requirements of two digits? Is there a work-around? How about rollover next month? Will the system roll from MESZ1 to MESZ22? Is there an automated way to deal with this?

Thanks
