Thanks.  I'll give that a shot because I don't really care about the actual 
time on these dates anyway.

Thanks,

Shawn,
What you will need to do is convert it to a Date instead of a Date/Time field 
if you want to handle before 1970.  You will loose fidelity of time of day, but 
will be able to handle any date you will encounter

Good afternoon,

I think I've found a limitation in View Forms that is causing some issues.  
Basically, for the integration I built with HR data, I'm seeing errors when 
converting dates for people hired prior to 1970.  There aren't any active folks 
like this, but it seems to be causing issues with my Escalation that double 
checks that these people, who may have left the company decades ago, no longer 
have a People record (despite the fact that none would have ever been created.) 
 I've been planning on resolving this by filtering the data to only include 
records where the termination date is null or where the termination date 
happened in the past month.

However, I am curious, how do we make Remedy handle dates prior to 1/1/1970 if 
the need arises in the future?

Thanks,
