Is the date correctly formatted with 4 digits in the export file? Or 
did Panorama export a short date format?

Assuming you can isolate the incorrect records (by searching for all 
payments with a post date in 1900, for example)...
Find the set of records to change
Put a cursor in the post date (this is the field with the incorrect 
date, right?)
Select the FileMaker Replace Command from the Scripts Menu
Click the button to do a calculated replace
Replace with this formula...
Date (Month(Post Date), Day(Post Date), 2000)
