ACC: Years 00-29 Default to Year 2000 When Typed as M/D/YY |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Access versions 7.0, 97
SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
When you type a date in the format M/D/YY where YY is a number from 00
through 29, Microsoft Access defaults to the years 2000 through 2029.
CAUSE
You have a newer version of the file Oleaut32.dll, which may have been
installed by Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or Microsoft Windows
NT version 4.0.
RESOLUTION
When you enter a date, type all four digits of the year. This will ensure
that the date will always be calculated the same, no matter which version
of Oleaut32.dll you have.
MORE INFORMATION
Both Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97 use Oleaut32.dll to determine what century
to use for dates when you do not specify all four digits. If the file is
the version supplied with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or
Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, the date can be calculated incorrectly.
If you are having the problem mentioned in this article, you may be using
one of the following versions of the file Oleaut32.dll:

Oleaut32.dll v2.1 Windows 95 / Windows NT 3.51 227 KB
