Re: TDateTime

["Mohammad Iqbal" <mi368@index.com.jo>]

The problem is easy to solve. Force the user to enter four digits instead
of 2. If you wait for BCB4, there will be a variable that helps to overcome
the problem as Charlie Calvert said.

| To all:
| 
| A quick question:  I have been using the 'StrToDate()' function to access
user 
| input from an edit box
| 
| 'TDateTime dt = StrToDate(Edit1->Text)'
| 
| When I enter a date like '06/10/03' using the European convention
'dd/mm/yy' and
| use the 'DecodeDate()' function to peek into the TDateTime variable dt, I
find 
| the year '1903'!?
| 
| I can't believe BCB has a year 2000 problem so any tips on getting out
the right
| date?
| 
| TIA
| 
| Cheers
