Marling- you are right....MANY dates will start triggering problems. read this: 2K woes not restricted to Jan. 1, 2000 http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/ctc990.htm Another problem is with Sept. 9, 1999 or 9/9/99 some systems use this as a defunct date. I read on a healthcare listserve that I'm on that there have been some ocurrances of this being a problem. Most of the time it is with databases that use this date as a default for date entry. There is not just one problem here....THAT's the problem! Your cyber sis, Gail Vass R.N.
