Scan-N-Watch Dates 2000UIt Just Makes Sense!

Have you checked your dates lately in your Access database tables? The Year 2000 is a date that can not be avoided, unfortunately the clock is winding down and there are potentially thousands of Access database tables that have not been analyzed and remediated to comply with the Year 2000.

Are your date values at risk? Perhaps, if you or your users have entered dates into your Access tables date/time fields with a year of YY (i.e. 99) vs. YYYY (i.e.1999) in any version of Access without understanding how Access interprets "Two Digit Shortcut Date Entry" or the Short Date format, then your date values may be at risk. Essentially, you are telling Access to "Guess the Century" for you. It's very important that you confirm that your date values are correct before the Year 2000 or your reporting results may not be valid after.

Scan-N-Watch Dates 2000Ö is a date value scanning solution for Access 2.0, 95, and 97 databases for Before and Beyond the Year 2000! It solely concentrates on the tables and the underlying records that contain date/time field values! In addition, it can be used to help you remediate your Access databases to meet Year 2000 compliance (Before the Year 2000) or it can be introduced as a long-term (Beyond the Year 2000) scanning solution installed on your desktops or servers to scan your Access databases on a regular basis.

In preparation for Before and Beyond the Year 2000, Scan-N-Watch Dates 2000Ö can help you or your organization identify potential invalid date values and date/time field formats that may be stored in your Access database tables.
