Don't forget Windows Regional and Language Options plays a role in how Legacy interprets this. To find this on XP machines, go to Start >> Control Panel >> Regional and Language Options.
On my machine, under the tab "Date," there is a 'Calendar' setting. It says when I two-digit year is entered; it is to be interpreted as a year between 1930 and 2029. Therefore, if the year entered is "59" it should be taken as 1959. If the year entered is "22" it should be taken as 2022.

I think Legacy now views 20__ as the default century and 19__ must be entered manually. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Daily Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 2:09 PM To: LegacyUserGroup Subject: [LegacyUG] Date entry bug, i.e. 1900-07 I am running Legacy Deluxe version 6.0.0.108 on Windows XP. My dates are formatted to display as 21 Nov 1953. I've been editing some dates in Events for various Individuals. I have an existing date of, let's say, 1907. I find an earlier date to add, so I go to edit the 1907 to read 1905-1907. I place my cursor in front of the 7, type "5-0" so it will read 1905-07, then press Tab, and Legacy changes it to 1905-1906. I tried this with 1900-1903, also, and it changed that to 1900-1901. If you just type in 1900-07, Legacy changes that to 1900-1901. In earlier versions, from what I recall, I used to be able to do the shorthand, and Legacy added the century automatically. Did some programming cause this to change? I tried selecting "Format with 4-digit year" but this did not change anything. I normally have that unselected. Can anyone duplicate this?
