Jim - Fortunately, the computer software we sell uses the PICK Operating system, which stores all dates as the number of days from 31Dec67. For example, to-day is 11417 and 01Jan2000 is 11689. It's a bit hard to tell if you only use the PICK OS or if you sell applications that use the OS. From this statement, are you stating that someone using the PICK OS never has to deal with any sort of event (like a human birthday) that happened before 31Dec67? What feature in the PICK OS requires either the specifications or the coding to use the OS provided date features? What happens if date data is imported from the outside world? What forces the application to convert that date data to the PICK modified Lillian (Lilian?) form? - David
