Another Y2K pitfall reported in new Microsoft product
kcstar.com

...Instead of converting its software to read each year as four digits -- say 1999 or 2003 -- Microsoft Office 2000 continues to use a two-digit date field to identify the year...

..."Recently, great strides have been made by their year 2000 group, but I fear Office 2000 has undone all that work. For over three years I've been trying to help them understand the need to remove all two-digit year possibilities from their products. Now they're going in the opposite direction."
