In early 1998 I did a test of fields in Datamanger by Timeworks and found that it was not Y2K compliant in two aspects. One of them the date field will no longer work properly and out of all things the password to a database (if you used one) will no longer work either.

The simple fix to a date field was to simply change it from a "date" field to a "text" field. You will have to manually enter the date.

The password situation was that there was no way to password protect the database if you set one. I just removed the password option. Have no idea why Y2K effected the password being implemented.

I know the post on here is very old but I just had to share because it was a interesting time back then.
