Dear Doug (and David...):
Sue and I have chatted a bit about her database...
Sue wants to be able to send out birthday and anniversary greetings to a
contact list. On occasion, contacts will provide her the day and month of a
birthday (or anniversary), but won't provide the year of birth/marriage. The
"dummy" year of 1900 is used in these situtations. It allows the use of the
date/time data type (and all those nice date/time functions..
I've seen this suggested as an approach in the newgroups, but I'd be happy
(and I know Sue would be too) to entertain any advice/options for dealing
with this!
Cheers!
