» What is Weight-By-Date?

Weight-By-Date is an easy-to-use weight loss program that runs on any Windows PC. You don't have to be online to use it and it's totally private.

Think of it as a food diary, nutrition calculator, weight tracker, fitness log, health monitor, and personal motivator — all neatly organized on your PC.
» How Does it Work?

One of the healthiest, most effective ways to lose weight is to track your progress. Track what you eat, what you weigh, and what you do for exercise.

That's how Weight-By-Date works. It opens your eyes, so you can see what you're doing wrong (and right). It's motivating and user-friendly, so you look forward to using it every day.

There aren't any gimmicks or false promises — just good common-sense in a high-tech tool.
» How Much is it?

Believe it or not, Weight-By-Date costs as little as $14.99 — a perfect fit for any budget. $57.99 gets you free support and one year of free upgrades.

You won't have any monthly or weekly fees to deal with either. Plus, Weight-By-Date doesn't pretend to be free, only to bombard you with e-mails and advertisements after you sign-up.
» Will it Run on My PC?

If you have a PC running Microsoft Windows, then that's all you need. Weight-By-Date works great on all modern versions of Windows, including Windows 7, Vista, and XP.

You don't need a lot of memory or space on your hard drive. It runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit PCs. Installation is fast and easy.

More than likely, some important system files were removed from your PC when you uninstalled something else. This is not all that uncommon. The solution is to download and install Weight-By-Date Pro again so the files can be restored.

I've just downloaded the software and get a "not a valid Win32 application" error.

This error means the entire install file is not being downloaded completely (despite what your web browser is telling you). Windows does not recognize what type of file it is because the last little piece of the file is missing.

You will need to delete the "wbd_pro30.exe" (or "wbd_trial30.exe" for the trial) file that you've downloaded and start the download again. Hopefully your web browser will retrieve the entire file this time, but if not, please let us know and we'll give you an alternate download that solves your problem.

I just installed the program (after using the free trial) and get a "Database File Missing" error.

This unusual error means the program had a problem copying your data file from the trial version of Weight-By-Date Pro. Windows is preventing the file from being copied, for reasons unknown, but the solution is easy. You'll need to copy the trial data file manually:

1. Use the My Computer icon to browse to the following folder on your PC:

For Windows XP: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Weight By Date Pro\Trial"
For Windows 7/Vista: "C:\Users\Public\Weight By Date Pro\Trial"

2. In this folder, look for a file called "wdat.dfw" (or you may just see it as "wdat").

3. Click once on this file and hit Control-C on your keyboard. This will make a copy of the file.

4. Now go back one folder so that you are just in "Weight By Date Pro".

5. Hit Control-V on your keyboard. The data file should be pasted into this folder.

6. Now start Weight-By-Date Pro from the shortcut on your desktop and you should see that your trial data has been imported.

I get a "Could Not Open Database" error (Error Number 3633, 3051, or 3011).

This error message may also say "Can't load DLL: MSJTER35.DLL" (or another similar DLL) and has a variety of similar error numbers (3633, 3051, 3011, etc). The solution is the same in all cases.

This error means that there are some system files missing from your PC. This probably happened when you when you uninstalled something else. Usually this can be fixed by reinstalling Weight-By-Date Pro.

I just installed the program and now I can't get to my Program Options or Profiles.

This strange little problem occurs for some people. Here's how to correct the problem:

1. Uninstall all instances of Weight-By-Date Pro (including the Trial version if it's installed) using the "Add/Remove Programs" option in your Control Panel. Don't worry, as long as you do it this way, all of your current data will still be there when you reinstall.

2. Reboot your computer.

3. Reinstall the full version of Weight-By-Date Pro. If you need to download it again from our site, please refer to the "Order Confirmation" e-mail that you received after your order.

4. Reboot your computer again and then open Weight-By-Date Pro when it comes back up. You should be able to get to your Profiles window now, and any other windows that were not coming up before.

I get a "Database File Corrupt" error when starting the program.

Don't panic. The data file can get corrupted when you have a system crash or when the system is rebooted suddenly while the program is open. All you have to do is send us your data file -- 95% of the time we are able to repair it for you quite easily.

Please call or send us an e-mail for instructions on how to send us your data.
