Thot that I had best pas this on........ it never ends... :( Jeannie <>< -----Original Message----- From: Sandi Gorin [mailto:sgorin@glasgow-ky.com] Sent: Friday, November 05, 1999 6:21 PM To: KYRESEARCH@rootsweb.com Subject: Genealogy programs and Y2K Pardon the unschedule interruption to your evening! I just learned from the company that the genealogy program I use is not Y2K compliant and supposedly most aren't unless they have just been upgraded. I use Family Origins 6.0 which I love; it and 7.0 are not compliant; their new 8.0 is. The gal I talked to said that most people don't think about it, but it can damage your date when the clock ticks over because of the date calculations. I'm not sure which brands are ok and which ones aren't but thought I'd let you all know so if you need to, you can check with your brand. Too precious to lose all that data! I don't know how to check other than calling the manufacturer or finding a web site on them. Now back to your regularly scheduled evening!
