thanks Jacqueline,
I didn't know about the centuryCutoff, but I had experimented and found out
that it does always work by supplying the 4-digit year. I just wish the
documentation in LC was better, but that's why this forum is so great!

But as soon as I go to:
4/15/35 6:47 AM (2035) or higher, LC won't convert it, but just leaves
it as the date/time
I'm using 6.1.1 (rc 4) on XP Service Pack 3
I don't have 6.1.1 currently installed but I tried it with 6.1.3 and it
works fine, at least on a Mac. However, you'll get a negative number of
seconds because the "35" will be interpreted as 1935 unless you change the
centuryCutoff. It's easier to supply the full 4-digit year, which will
always work.
