In Cumulus 1:
StartDate=07/13/2011
No matter how I set the StartDate in the CumulusMX .ini file (e.g., Wednesday, July 13, 2011 or 07/13/2011) it always reverts to Monday, May 2, 2016. Where is this being picked up from?

Re: StartDate problem in MX
The only place Cumulus gets that from is the StartDate= line in Cumulus.ini. When you say it reverts, where are you looking? In Cumulus.ini? Have you got a second StartDate line somewhere in Cumulus.ini? Are you editing Cumulus.ini with Cumulus stopped?

Re: StartDate problem in MX
Rechecked, problem gone. Must have been brain dead time - probably tried changing ini while cumulus was running.
