Bruce, I did some old fashion debuggging and I have found the following info as well
the value is fine until it hits the removeAllTags function
that function changes it to
<</mm/yy
EDIT- <</mm/yy
As for corrupted files.. not sure ? It's worth trying but in my experience with asp corrupted files usually don't work at all. Maybe you have seen some exceptions but I have not. But who knows.

happens right. Then again ya got a real good point with the other installations working fine.
We'll figure it out. Thanks for the support.
