Re: PSC recommends what date format yr 2000???

It keeps the original formatting.

This will help you to avoid the >'year 2000' date problem many legacy database systems will have to deal >with in a couple of years.If you use the info for credit card processing (or plan to) you should really follow Ken's advice. I don't know if it is universal, but suspect it is: Some Credit Card companies levy heavy fines on their customers who can _not_ accept or process credit cards with expiration dates beyond 2000.I don't remember the dollar figures mentioned in the warning letters we got, but they were substantial enough to send us scurrying to check our processing equipment and software. So, since PCS's S/W makes it easy, do it :-) -Sven_____________________________________________________________________ Sven U.
