Bernie, That's why I said "pick a different date if you want to." It depends on the data you keep. Some databases don't have any birthdates in them, and the oldest data may be post 1980. And I like the comment about checking an limiting dates depending on their meaning. R:Base RULES, EEPS, Stored Procedures, GETDATE(), are all tools you can use to make it easy for users to get the date right.
