Hi Pamela,
Well, I have it in production! About 30 users out of 70 on a very busy network, NT4/Win95.
All the Y2K stuff works like a treat. No code changes except the two lines!
Now, the catch??
Well you shell your own app from the Y2Kfox.exe that they provide and it puts up a little banner for about 1 sec at startup. I've asked the developers to remove this :-)
The other downside, *at the moment*, is that it is CPU intensive - they are aware of this side issue and say they are addressing it,
HTH
