    In several software programs the year 2010 causes a bug. Read more: http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/The-year-2010-is-causing-IT-problems-895628.html[^] Do you experience also the 2010 year bug in software you are using? At work we had problems in one modul where imported cases where dated to the year 1910 because someone used only 2 digits for the year...

      I found a bug in my code that the zero was left off the month which caused a problem. :) The year thing has been a problem since 2000.

          Bug I fixed: someone formatted (before inserting it into the database) the received two-digits year, this way:

          sprintf(sYear, "200%d", bYear);

          Apparently the database doesn't like year 20010... :-D
