I would only perform this code if the value of 'YY' is greater than the

that would narrow down my odds,
1)  no one can have a DOB before the current date.
2)  there should not be that may people that are over 100 years old.

That's true, but if you do that, it'll ALWAYS be 19xx.  You'll never

get 20xx.

True. I'm making an assumption (I know...) that she knows her dataset
and understands the implications of forcing the 19xx into the date. One
time conversion maybe?
