@m00x Yaaay! You figured it out. See, you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Have a good one.

Thank you...thank you! Just did mine and it works like a charm.

@jel6692 - Excellent! - but don't forget to run a full control test on those expired strips to make sure they're still in a good testing range.

@the1observant Ahhh Ha---OK, I'll remember that, thanks!

@Ferdyboy1957 - because if you wait too long to set the date back, it will lock out the code key again. Then, yes, you will have to take it apart again and repeat the reset (drain the board). I've thought about installing my own reset button just in case it happens to me again, but then I decided to just set the date back to the beginning every month. See, that's all that micro battery was for... to keep you from doing this reset.

@Ferdyboy1957 - if you catch it in time you can do that (set date back), but if you wait 1 day too long it will lock out the code key again.

@the1observant --can't you just set the date back to make it work again if the date "catches up" to the code key?
