Tim:

I've been emaling the developer of the program for about a year on this with
no replies -- since this is a free program, his priorities are probably
elsewhere now.

Here's all I've been able to figure out: Get into the New Fill screen, Pick
a Car, and a Category. Tap Next (don't bother putting in a Curr Odo.
Reading). Tap Next on the next screen without entering anything, and then
tap Done. The Gas Fills summary screen comes up now so tap on the 1st entry
that you just created, the one with the 0 in the Mileage column. Tap Edit
and then take out the distance traveled and manually enter the number of
miles since your last fill up (you know, the number on your trip counter
that you reset the last time you filled up) - ;-D - and then proceed to fill
in the rest of the blanks as though you were filling in a new entry.
Finally, tap Done.

I used an older version of this program for a couple of years and really
liked it. When I saw the most recent version, I asked if my old data would
be compatible, and was told it would work fine. After installing the new
upgrade, I cannot get it to "sync" with the old data.

In the old version (I have no way of checking to get the version), trip
mileage was not calculated by the program and had to be entered for each
fill. When I went to the new version, I entered the mileage based on the
last fill for the base odometer reading. When I try to make a new fill
entry, the calculated trip mileage (and everything based on that figure) is
off by several thousand miles. For the life of me I have not been able to
find a way to work around this.

I do have two vehicles that I track, and the same problem exists for both.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to get this to work?

Thanks
