Subject: Physical Files with numeric dates?

We just had a discussion tody concerning numeric date and time fields.
And just because I'm curisous:

How many of you are still using numeric fields (may be a rather big crowd
- at least those working with old applications) But how many of you are
using date fields in your tables where the year or century year is NOT in
the first position, i.e. in a Format MMDDYY or MMDDYYYY or DDMMYY or
DDMMYYYY?


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
