>Bruce,
>One of my associates got a similar email from a client and spent an hour with various programs checking out the Short Date and Long Date settings. Purely display (at least if you have a Y2K compatible computer).

Yes, I too spent a little time testing them, as well, as checking MSDN and the MS site. Came up empty (which is good, of course), but learned a little bit in the process, at least.

We were *supposed* to have all Y2K compatible machines here, but since Congress was 7 weeks late in passing the budget (grumble), we're not going to quite make it...all the mission-critical stuff should be fine, though, I've been part of the Y2K testing for things like the CPI & PPI, major gov't economic indexes.
