True, but this does not mean that you will not have problems with any of
these programs. It is easy to say something is Y2K compliant ... but what
exactly does that mean? One problem I run into all the time in Access is
the "pivot year" problem. If one is not careful with formatting dates,
when someone enters a two-digit year, Access will interpret dates before
"30" as being in the 21st century instead of the 20th century. This is
always a headache for me when dealing with birth dates ...
