The ITS Library Support Group has monitored the software upgrades needed for servers supported by their group. We found that all systems are working well. A few early 486 workstations did not roll over automatically and the date had to be reset manually, but other than that, NO year-2000 anomalies surfaced during testing. Today's extensive evaluation indicates that the library will experience very few Y2K difficulties when staff return to work on Monday Jan 3. Product specific, see the links to product guides in the tablebelow.
Dates can be input in both predefined and custom formats via an input mask.
Predefined formats include a short date format, which forces users to enter 2-digit dates. A custom format can be created to limit date entry to 4-digit years. Dates can be displayed in predefined and custom formats by using the Format property and Format function. Dates are stored as numeric values and formatted according to one of several default formats, the most common being the system short date. To avoid this, users can change theirsystem short date to a 4-digit format.
