Are there any Y2K vendors who profess Euro expertese? As far as I know, the two problems are entirely different, in fact Euro could be either much much MUCH worse than Y2K, or a breeze. If all you need to do is to chnage, say, Dutch Guilders into Euros, one simple pass through the data, not affecting thecode, and a few cosmetic changes to screens and printouts should fix it. Or, If you need to keep both currencies in parallel for a while, and cope with changing exchange rates for a while, then it could be a complete application rewrite. Would make Y2K look like a picnic.
