Jim - I changed my computer to y2000 and all my MS applications worked fine. Point of order.. MSFT really doesn't make applications. They make tools. Applications are things like accounting systems that run on top of MSFT tools. A catalog of desktop applications list 3,000+ vendors and 21,000 products. This obviously totally ignores ALL the stuff written in languages such as xBase, Paradox, FoxPro, Revelation, AlphaFour, ad nauseum. I will certainly conceed that many operations, large & small, have written mission critical applications in spreadsheets. My two cents is that MSFT is going to get majorly hammered by their continued stonewalling of Y2K. Man in the street does know, nor should he know the difference between an operating system & accounts receivable. - David
