Patrick and Jeremy,
Thanks for your reply. My problem is not only related to STRTODATE
function, it's also the problem the TDBEdit with TDateField underneath, and
all other related issues. The reason I asked for STRTODATE is mainly
because I have an image that Delphi will doing all DATE related things
using STRTODATE logic.
I know SQL is using 50 as a fixed window, but whatever the window is used,
it's better that just add currency century - at least my customer s reckon.
So what I realy want to know is how Delphi 4.02 treat 2 digit year.
