There are MANY changes to MFC. The most damaging involves COleDateTime. It seems MS decided that a m_dt value of 0.0 (12/31/1899) is now COleDateTime::invalid, despite the fact that COleDateTime supports dates all the way back to 12/31/100 (generates a negative value for m_dt). What a pain in the ass.
