Everything seems to be working fine with dates in my REVG database EXCEPT in date cross-referencing called for in the screen. In the XREF file, the recorded IDs are listed correctly, but the title of the record, supposedly the date cross-referenced, is, for instance, -718794 instead of the expected 11691. Help!

Did you install the patch for Iconv and dates.

the exact problem is the following. Dates such as

01/01/0000 not 01/01/2000 are being stored

Thanks. But I've managed to fix things without a patch, as it turns out. Making room for the 4-digit year in all places where dates are used did it and using 'D' for OCONV. Happy ending. I've got all the messes cleaned up by now, too.
