hmmm.... Just now, I reloaded the Fundamental data, first basic, then extended. 
Then I did a Save in AmiBroker, then shutdown Amibroker, then restarted and 
checked the ticker of GE.
Still flipped in AmiBroker:
P/E = 8.70 (looks good)
Forward P/E = .94 (hmmm...)
EPS est. Next Year = .94 (looks good)
Foward EPS = 14.26 (hmmm...)

Looked on Yahoo to confirm my figures are flipped.
I also confirmed aqfe.format file as:

$NOQUOTES 1
$AUTOADD 1
$OVERWRITE 1
$SEPARATOR ,

$FORMAT CLOSE, FORWARD_PE, PEG_RATIO, PROFIT_MARGIN, OPERATING_MARGIN, 
RETURN_ON_ASSETS, RETURN_ON_EQUITY, REVENUE, QTRLY_REVENUE_GROWTH, 
GROSS_PROFIT, EBITDA, EPS,  QTRLY_EARNINGS_GROWTH, BOOK_VALUE_PER_SHARE, 
OPERATING_CASH_FLOW, FREE_CASH_FLOW, BETA, SHARES_OUT, SHARES_FLOAT, 
INSIDER_HOLD_PERCENT, INSTIT_HOLD_PERCENT, SHARES_SHORT_PREV,SHARES_SHORT, 
FORWARD_DIV, DIVIDEND, DIV_PAY_DATE, EX_DIV_DATE, LAST_SPLIT_RATIO, 
LAST_SPLIT_DATE
