Depends on how you construct your dates:- If you enter '01/01/00' in a dd/mm/yy field informix treats it as '1st Jan 1900' not '1st Jan 2000' !! If you insert '01/01/2000' into a date field internally it will be stored ok. Look on the bright side, you still have 3 years, 7 months and 15 days to change all your code to add 100 years to all entered dates. Then, again if your software is still be used 3 years later, you've achieved something!
