All software that Smithware distributes is Year 2000 compliant. We support both short dates (mm-dd-yy) and long dates (mm-dd-yyyy) in all products. It is up to the developer who uses Smithware products to choose which type of date implementation to support. For a date data types to be "Year 2000 Compliant" it must be able to store information about the century. The following data types supported by Smithware store information about the century. Ergo, they can be Year 2000 Compliant. Btrieve Date Magic Int Date-0001 Magic Int Date-1901 TAS Date VB Date-Time YYYYMMDD 8-Byte Date YYYYMMDD Long Int Date The following data types supported by Smithware do not store information about the century. Thus by their own nature are not Year 2000 Compliant. YMD 3-Byte Date YYMMDD 6-Byte Date To guarantee that data entered on a platform is Year 2000 Compliant you can change the short date format in the operating system settings from MMDDYY to MMDDYYYY. This makes it necessary for a four digit year to be entered. To find out more about Pervasive Software and its Year 2000 Compliance please read the Pervasive Y2K White Paper.
