Re: Invoice date - Y2K problem

[Catherine Foreman <cforeman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We don't have this problem, and I wonder if it is because our date format
is set as year/month/day. Here is an example of the screen display for an
invoice which was just posted:

                PDATE    INV DATE & NO.        AMOUNT VOUCHER NOTE
 29 PAID         2000-01-05 99-12-23 10021019      $6.29   12158

We have not done any electronic invoicing yet this year, so cannot say what
the results of that will be.
