EDIT: SCROLL DOWN A FEW POSTS TO GET THE LATEST 2.17.03F PATCH FOR THIS ISSUE...

The date lines are wrong, they are missing the "-" characters that separate the text. It should look like this:

You need to save the summary text to a file and make the changes I described above to get them to import. You'll have to do this until I get a patch out to address the format changes they made. I don't know when that will be.

In addition to inserting the hyphen before and after the start and end date of each tourney (make sure there is a space before and after each hyphen!), I found that you ALSO have to put parentheses around the "ET" at the end of each start/end time.

If you don't change each "ET" to "(ET)", it will still successfully load, but you won't get correct times; they'll all show as midnight.

Perhaps this has been fixed in a recent patch; I don't know. I'm running PT2, version 2.17.03b and I see there's a "d" version out, but PT never forced the update, so I'm assuming it's not necesary.

If you already have the summaries imported after fixing the hyphen problem but not the ET problem, and have 12:00 times (and if you care about start times!), you'll need to delete the tourney summary records, then reimport them with the corrected format.

Here is the patch for this new date format in the summaries. Version 2.17.03F

I downloaded the patch, but now it's telling me that the file contains no Texas Hold'em Hands

After installing the patch, PokerTracker is working fine again.

Thank you for the quick help.
