>>So yes, y2k changes are dependent on teams of experienced programmers, not expensive, complicated, and useless products<< Steve, your post deserves an A+. One more point, anyone who relies solely on these tools to spot all lines that involve logic related to dates is bound to find some nasty "time bombs". IMO the only way out is to have live programmers go through 100% of the logic and even then things will slip through. Based on my experience I find it very difficult that any of this tools will allow skipping this step. Pancho PS: It would be nice to publish/see published software reviews on "test drives" of this canned y2k solutions. I bet you that the bottom line would be that most of them are just junk. Industry will catch up to how useless this things are. This brings things back to labor intensive low margin consulting.
