Y2K Testing

Sounds like you have modified the dictionary and presumably the structure
of the database but the data in the date field is still only six digits. If
you have Adager you should try the examine date, change date options.
I have found with my Y2K work with PowerHouse that it is sometimes
difficult to see whether the data is converted and stored OK due to the way
that century is handled. I tend to use Query to check that the data is
correct.
