>I believe that the programmer was saving the date as a two digit year. So, I guess what I'll have to do is look where they saved the date as a two digit value and change it to four digit value. It sounds like this should solve the problem. Does that sound right?

All date fields (data type "D") have a four digit year. The only way the programmer could have saved the date as a two digit year is if they stored it in a character field (data type "C") instead of a date field. If that's what happened, then yes, what you are proposing should solve the problem... but you should definitely convert all the dates to a date-type field, if they aren't already, rather than simply extending the size of a character field.
