RE: issue with dates in sql server

Do you have some samples of the dates? For example, on row 1 were date1
through date5 all originally (input - SMODT) the same date? Or were they
significantly different?

There are some strange quirks in MS in converting dates. For example the
year 1900 was not a leap year (only '00 years that are divisible by 400,
like 2000, are). Yet if you set an Excel cell to
= date(00,02,25)
and set the cell below it to
=A1+1
and copy it down so you have
=A2+1
=A3+1
and so on you will see 2/29/1900 which is an erroneous date. It's a bug
they carried over from Lotus 123 so they could be migration compatible.
