Y2K-PC-SOFTWARE - Foxpro to Access conversion I did a fulltext search on www.dejanews.com with the word 'Y2K'. This is an interesting posting: - typical PC software problem; - typical person addressing the problem: US Sergeant; so probably not a professional IT person (apologies to Timothy Brown if I am mistaken!); - at loss at how to fix the problem; - no tools; how-to-books; courses etc available to help him. These guys need some helping hand, tools, courses etc to rapidly fix their problems. A market opportunity IMHO. Thanks to Timothy Brown!

Situation: I am currently writing a new application in Access. It is to replace an older application written in Foxpro 2.6. Problem: there are several fields in the older database that used a 6 character text field to represent dates formated as "yymmdd". I have been racking my brain as to how to get Access to recognize entries such as "000228" as being 28 Feb 2000. What am I missing? regards, Tim Brown Sergeant US Army
