What are you waiting for Glenn. If you wait to long you will be able to
realize about some issues when it is too late. Be careful.

Don't know about anyone else but we just had our first Y2K blowup.

We're still on a very old version (2.1.07) but I thought I had 11.5
months to go.

Trying to run some reports in FRS, the year validation tests to make
sure that the reporting year is either last year, this year or next
year.  So as of today, last year is 98, this year is 99 and next year is
00.  Since 99 is not less than 00, it fails the screen validation and
won't submit the report.

So I commented out the validation to get the accounting people their
reports.

Anyone else have anything to report?
