No problem Bill. I still refer to your and David’s SQL book almost monthly.

Are all the wrong dates off by exactly a century? If not, you will have to make your WHERE clause more complicated, and do this more than once. SELECT datecolumn FROM tablename WHERE datecolumn <= '01/01/1900' UPDATE tablename SET datecolumn = + (RDATE(imon(datecolumn), iday(datecolumn), (iyr4(datecolumn) + 100 )) + WHERE datecolumn <= '01/01/1900' Bill On Thu, May 24, 2018 at 9:50 PM, Claudine Robbins <crobb...@iexgroup.com<mailto:crobb...@iexgroup.com>> wrote: Hello all, I’m on latest release. Some null values in a date field on a form are coming up 12/30/99, fully extended to 12/30/1899! There are no values in that field in the table and the field correctly takes whatever date is inserted and saves it to the table. I switched from 2-digit year to 4-digit year a few months ago and wonder if that’s when this started. I reloaded the database, ran it through R:Scope and all is sound. Any ideas on how to fix this?
