That would be if its for something like order or invoice dates which would be recent. If it's for birthdates for old people, you could pop up a prompt like "Is this 19xx or 20xx?", or "What century?" for ambiguous dates if you're expecting 100 year old or dead people. This is even a worse solution, but hey, its not my problem. For things like order entry, though, it's not too unreasonable to expect recent dates. Just some thoughts on other solutions...
