After reports from several clients that the validator for the DFE download provided by Tribal was throwing an error saying the date portion of the file format was invalid we thought we would take a closer look…

Turns out that the downloader still thinks it is 2005.  To get the validate to accept your file, simply replace the current year with 05 and it should accept the file.

So for the file in the screenshot below, renaming it to AMP894CON_160205.TXT will do the trick.
