The latest member of Symantec's Norton family identifies potential Y2K problems throughout your network. The product doesn't fix Y2K date problems, but it annotates and helps prioritize date-sensitive areas in files and creates reports outlining specific date risks. Norton 2000's data scanner is based on Viasoft's OnMark 2000 Assess, a powerful database and spreadsheet scanner that generates expandable reports using five configurable levels of Y2K severity.
Reports can be summary-style or detailed down to the spreadsheet cell.
For Microsoft Excel 5.0 and later, Norton 2000 generates annotated copies of spreadsheets with color-coded date risks. Detailed comments are attached to potentially troublesome cells. Norton 2000 scans embedded macros and Visual Basic modules for any date functions, conversions, variables, or arguments that suggest date usage. Also, you control which date formats to look for and whether to scan dates in label cells or text fields. Norton 2000 scans databases for any text fields with two-digit years, and with Microsoft Access, it also scans input forms, queries and reports for suspect date formats.
