2.     “When entering data on the sow card, I get a message saying ‘illegal date, must be later than – ddmmyy’, how do I overcome this problem?

Answer: Click ok on the message and check the date you are trying to enter is the correct one. If it is you will need to delete it first and then press Enter. Now click ok on the sow card and tap on General and Date Check. You will have to increase/decrease the relevant parameter so that Pocket Pigs accepts the date you are trying to enter. Once done, go back to that animal’s sow card again and the data should now be accepted.

3.     “When transferring data from the PPC to the main WinPig program on my PC, an event is shown on the ‘Viewing transferred data’ screen in black and it will not transfer into my WinPig program. How do I overcome this problem?
