>>>I know there's been a lot of threads concerning Y2K issues and am aware of Christof's Y2K program and Y2KFox, etc. Do any of these programs address legacy code containing CTOD routines, etc? I believe the Y2K programs are designed for user entry issues. What about existing apps that contain a myriad of CTOD and DTOC code. Is there a "universal" method for handling these occurrences? Do I have to search through thousands of lines of code to find each occurence and then deal with them manually?

FWIW, I converted a 250,000 line program suite in 1 hour - an 1MB executable with 25 separate .apps. It's been running for several months in production now without a glitch.
But if you suspect that any of the source code is doing special tricks bypassing the inbuilt date functions, beware. Fortunately I had none - even data importing from external text sources that had yymmdd format import correctly using append.
