What is the "right date"? If you are entering a date of birth in a personnel
app, you don't want people that haven't been born yet. You should decide
yourself in code what the pivot date is, but I agree it would be nice to
have this feature implimented, like Clipper's "SET EPOCH" command. Maybe
someone could subclass TDateTime and impliment this feature, then post us
the code!
