Hi,
I would like to know if Access 2.0 can be made to operate on Windows
XP. I have used Access 2.0 and my database on a Windows 98 machine for some
while, and decided to upgrade to a new computer, which had Windows XP on it.
After I copied all required files from my Windows 98 computer, I opened the
database, and it opened fine, with one exception. I cannot enter additional
information, due to the fact that it will not recognize any date (year)
after 1999. It treats the year date (04) as 1904. I remember the fix back
in 1999 for this problem, from Microsoft, but was wondering if there is a
patch for Windows XP. Thanks. 4 3332
Try going to the Regional and Language Options on the Control Panel. On the
Regional Options tab, there should be a Customize button. Click on it, and
select the Date tab. At the top of that tab, you can change how XP
interprets 2 digit year input.
Of course, you should be using 4 digit years. Perhaps you missed the big
fuss that was raised a few years back, something called Y2K?

A deviation from Microsoft's standard policies allowed a patch for the
long-out-of-support Access 2.0 for Y2K. Be sure it is installed. We are
still in the time-window for which the Y2K corrections are likely to be
needed, so using a four digit year is a good, but not mandatory, approach if
the assumptions for date-handling in the patch are satisfactory.
It will be, after all, unlikely that any applications we deal with today
will be running to cause a Y3K problem.

I'm unaware of any problem associated with Y3K, Y4K maybe as it's not
yet decided if this year will be leap or not.
