I guess it's assuming all years are 4 digit and not 2 digit. The date [1970 Jan 1] is the date I believe is a lot of date/time numbers are based on for the start. So it maybe this is ultimately saying if it's a two digit year and it's before January 1st 1970 they must mean the year 2000?

Just what you need for date of birth fields :-) I think more reasonable way of doing this is have a defaultCentury and set that to 1900 or 2000? Any other ideas? Thanks, Justin
