Just getting the hang of this program [and the forums; I may have originally posted this in the wrong one].
I'm getting a number of errors like this:

Cannot write modification time of "H:\Mike\Documents\a -- ELECTRICAL data\ARCHIVE INVOICES\MW inv 20160502 - Borelli~8502.ffs_tmp".
A FAT volume can only store dates from 1980 to 2099:
write time (UTC): 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM (116444736000000000)
Error Code 87: The parameter is incorrect. [SetFileTime]

I looked at the files in question, and all modification dates seem to be within parameters.
I don't understand what it's telling me, and therefore can't figure out how to fix.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. THX

If possible, it would be easiest to format as NTFS. That would solve the problem and be better going forward. FAT is pretty outdated
