Job Tracker Year 2000 Compliance Statement

If you are using Job Tracker version 1.x this document refers to version 1.65g or later.

All earlier versions of Job Tracker have not been tested to meet the Y2K compliance tests.

Job Tracker will not produce errors processing dates in connection with the year change from 31st December 1999 to 1st January 2000, provided the hardware, firmware (BIOS) and operating system used with it properly exchange date information with Job Tracker. Job Tracker will also recognise the Year 2000 as a leap year.

All dates are stored in the database as complete date values (day, month, year and century)

Job Tracker is dependent on the operating system to determine the current date. Once the current date has been obtained Job Tracker will use this date as follows:

• in certain calculations (eg calculating the age of an invoice)
• when suggesting default date values for data entry
• when interpreting incomplete dates entered by the user.

If the hardware, firmware (BIOS) and/or operating system is non year 2000 compliant (and therefore reports an incorrect date), this may cause Job Tracker to behave in an unpredictable manner.

Job Tracker has been tested for compliancy with the following operating systems:

• Windows 3.1
• Windows for Workgroups 3.11
• Windows 95
• Windows 98
• Windows NT 3.51/4.0

Job Tracker provides great flexibility when entering dates and will attempt to interpret any value entered in a date field as a valid date. If you omit the century, year and/or month when entering a date value Job Tracker will supply values for the century, year and/or month using the current system date. If the complete date value determined by Job Tracker is not what you expect you should enter the complete date yourself (including the century).

See the table below for examples on how Job Tracker interprets dates.
