For those poor people who can't be at IWUC next week, the answer is: I4GL (I4GL-RDS, I4GL-ID, ISQL) Versions 4.20 and 6.10 They're due out later this year. For those lucky people who will be at IWUC next week -- remember you saw it here first. The info is on one of the slides in the talk Cathy Kipp and I are doing. >Date fields on screen and printout *must* of course contain 4 digit >years in all cases even if you use dbcentury. Absolutely! *ALWAYS* show all 4 digits. Someone will screw something up sooner rather than later if you don't. >Richard Hawkins <richh@netcomuk.co.uk> wrote: > >:Does anyone know if there is a way to change to default '19' >:appearing in a date field?
