Prerequisites: Download the Office 97 Service Release (SR) 2 Patch from http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/Articles/sr2fact.htm. The changes in Office 97 that were made in SR 2, including Y2K updates, are listed in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q151/0/20.asp. All Y2K issues reported as fixed in SR2 exist in SR1 and in the base Office 97 product. The issues addressed by this update exist in all Office 97 releases, including SR 1 and the base release.

How the product handles dates:

Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools (ODE 97) contains several applications that aid in the development and distribution of Office 97 applications. The applications included are the Source Code Control add-in for Microsoft Access, Help Workshop, Replication Manager and Transporter, Setup Wizard, Win32 API Viewer, Graph 8.0 run-time, and some ActiveX Controls. The ActiveX Controls shipped with the ODE 97 are Comct232.ocx, Comctl32.ocx, Comdlg32.ocx, Msinet.ocx, Mswinsck.ocx, and Richtx32.ocx.

The Help Workshop, Win32 API Viewer, and the ActiveX Controls have no mechanisms for date parsing. The Open and Save As common dialogs (in Comdlg32.ocx) are capable of displaying/sorting dates. Display and sorting are determined by the Regional Settings applet in the Control Panel for the operating system.

The Source Code Control add-in for Microsoft Access relies on the Source Code Control client for all date-related operations. A typical date operation would involve comparing a local file date/time to the date/time of the file stored in the versioning system. The best Source Code Control client for Microsoft Access is Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. See the Microsoft Visual SourceSafe documentation for specific Year 2000 information.

The Replication Manager and Transporter use Jet to store and manipulate data. It uses shared VBA components to perform calculations on Date/Time data.

The Setup Wizard is an Access 97 wizard that uses Access 97 for date handling. To redistribute a Year 2000 compliant Access Runtime, you will need to install the Office 97 SR-2 and recreate the setup using the Setup Wizard. Any patches that are applied to Access or its components will be automatically rolled into the setup when it is created. See the Microsoft Access 97 Year 2000 document for more information on how Access 97 handles dates.

The Graph 8.0 run-time displays date data on a graphical chart. Date data is either entered directly into the Graph 8.0 grid or imported from another application, such as Access 97. Once the data is in Graph 8.0, dates are treated as serial dates and follow the same rules for date parsing as Access 97

Two-digit shortcut handling:

The ODE 97 components that are capable of displaying date data support 2-digit shortcuts for date display.

The ODE 97 components follow the same rules for converting 2-digit shortcuts as Access 97.

Common date usage errors:
