I just realised that you might have a text only email. You can see all the
screen shots here: http://theprioryinn.co.uk/specials/dabo.aspx.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [dabo-users] Y2K issue with date fields and multi line text
fields
Regarding the date field,
I have attached 4 screen shots. They show before and after an update of
birth_date. The interesting thing is that if you change a date after 1970,
it defaults to the 1900s. If birth_date is changed before 1970, it defaults
to the 2000s.
As you can see from the screen shot, Dabo is only seeking a two digit date.
Thanks for all your help!
