When I asked John what the point of no return was...this was what I was referring to...I just didn't do a very good job of asking the question but got a good response from John nonetheless...

Thanks to both of you.

Mikeysoft rep said to upgrade to Windoze 2000 to fix Y2K bugs.

Hey Bill... don't you know that Microsoft products have no bugs??

They're referred to as "undocumented features"..... <VBG>

Great article... although for the life of me, I'm not sure exactly where SP3 has Y2K vulnerabilties of great significance.

I'm more worried about the human data entry side where people used 6 digit dates with 8 digit capable software.

Regards,

Ron
