upgrade moving tables oddity in order date field

Forgive me, I'm not the best with SQL.

I'm upgrading a site from 1.5 to 2.5 for a customer. I installed your latest version (purchased by the customer) for 1.5 on the old site, then did the upgrade. Installed the version for 2.5 on the new site. I then exported the _dms_ tables and imported them into the new database. WHEW!

And all my data is there! Yeah!

Except...

in the old site, the order date looks like: 12-17-2012
in the new site, the order date looks like: %12-%08-%2012

There are more sales than I feel comfortable manually editing the database. I'm also a little nervous that there may be other errors I'm not seeing yet.

Thoughts? Wisdom as to what I may have done wrong?

The dates are all still there and sort correctly. I'm not getting any errors... but I'm worried about this.

Hi

1. The upgrade process you did is incorrect. You will need to import the database tables from Joomla 1.5 website into Joomla 2.5 website first, then install latest version of the extension to your Joomla 2.5 site. For now, please install latest version to your Joomla 2.5 site again .

2. For the format of the date, you will just need to go to Documents Seller -> Configuration, find the config option Date Format, change it (remove % character from the config option) and everything will work as expected .
