TTOSBT, the leap year is really tied into the y2k problem. The situation is, when the programmers originally decided to use the 2 digit date format, they had to account for the fact that not all years had exactly the same number of days; ie, leap years. So when the y2k problem is fixed, the fix must account for the leap years. I realize that my explanation is not very technical, but its to difficult to detail everything in a brief message. The important things is that leap years will not be a problem. By the way, do you realize that many companies and government agencies have been using the year 2000 for some time? These are the companies that are on a fiscal year, as compared to a calendar year. I haven't heard of anyone having a problem, have you? Stock Bull
