╖ Two-digit years 00 - 79 in Schedule + are interpreted to be between 2000 and 2079; the shortcuts 80 - 99 are interpreted to be between 1980 and 1999.

Office Professional 4.XX - 16-Bit Windows
Recommendation: Install the updated Acc2Date.exe.
Date handling: By default, Access 2.0 interprets dates that are entered by the user or imported from a text file as occurring in the 1900s. After installing the Acc2Date.exe, two-digit shortcuts 00 - 29 are interpreted to be years between 2000 and 2029; 30 - 39 are interpreted to be between 1930 and 1999.
PowerPoint 4.0 does not convert two-digit shortcuts to four-digit years.
Excel 5.0 interprets two-digit years less than 20 to be in the 2000s and two-digit years 21 or larger to be in the 1900s.
