ADDCENTURY

[Deskin, Bob]

As Allison said, the ADDCENTURY function is the same. This means that if you
attempt to add a century to a date that already has one (i.e. a century
included date) you'll get a data conversion error. If you make all your
dates century included, you won't need the ADDCENTURY.
