Once you have determined which
personal (data) files are both important and may be affected by year
2000 issues, you'll want to consider your options for correcting
these files.
Remember:
It is safest to use four-digit years in all personal (data) files.
In some cases you will be able to obtain automated
programs, such as Microsoft's "wizards," from your software vendor
to help you quickly change dates in existing files. For example,
owners of Microsoft Office 97 can download several wizards to
change dates in Excel workbooks at http://support.microsoft.com/support/
kb/articles/Q176/9/43.asp.
There may be other programs available to help change dates in
data files that are not from Excel. If you cannot locate a program
to assist you with date changes, you will need to make the changes
manually. |
