Bev,

I'm no programmer by any stretch of the imagination, however, I do poke
around in code sometimes just for the heck of it. It's been about a year
since I played with Quicken (the ProDOS version 1.0), and I was able to
change the 19's to '20' and enter a year of 00 in the register and while
"writing" a check. I was also able to print both out showing the year
'2000'.

I will try it again, as I did not save my work. As I said, I was just
playing around with it. I do trust your work, however, and I bow to your
efforts. If I am able to do it again, I'll post back here.
