Hi Eric,

I think the pivot year has been 2030 for quite some time, at least since 4D 
v6.7, see here:
http://www.4d.com/docs/CMU/CMU00392.HTM 
"By default, 4D sets the century to be the 20th century and uses 30 as pivot 
year. "

I had assumed dates were stored in 4 digits and that the default century only 
affected data entry not stored values (i.e. it converts 2 digit dates to 4 
digits; thus saving 4 digits to the database)... 

Does changing the default century change the data you already have stored? Like 
if you set the default century to 25 does it show that this person died in 2532 
and was born in 2487? If so, then you could probably set the default century to 
25 and then query for all dates with a year >2400 and then reset the year for 
the records you find.

-Tim
