Sure. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Borland C uses a datum of 1970. If
you want to stick to 32 bits for the time stamp, then you are limited to
135 years or so. The trick then is to decide how much past/present
capability your users need for historical databases versus how long you
think your OS will be around. Otherwise make a 64 bit time stamp and be
done with it!!
Thanks,
