Ron >>Thanks Emory, I have bookmarked the URL you kindly referred me to and will do the remaining tests.<< You might want to do all the tests. Based on your earlier statement: >>Set my computer clock to 12-31-1999 and let 01-01-2000 occur and found that I could operate as normal. Does anyone know if this is a valid test?<< I not sure if the test you'd done was done correctly. Specifically, you didn't say whether you'd had your computer turned off when the clock rolled over to the next day (should be 1/1/2000). If you didn't you should have. Also, you said you could operate as normal but you didn't say whether you checked the date. My computer still operated but the date was 1980 after the roll-over. Emory
