RE: Date range

Yeah, we thought so, too, but when you are dealing with birth dates,
anybody older than 66 will be born in the future. ;)

Subject: RE: Date range

Application should be designed in the most user friendly way.  6 digits
date field is the norm in US ==> Most screens should be designed to only
display/enter in 6 digits format.  There are, of course, some
exceptions.  Birthday, for example, should be designed to require 8
digits date field on the screen.  

All above should only apply to screen design only.  In database, all
date fields should be stored with century in database.

Above are just MHO :)
