select convert(datetime, '12/31/49')
select convert(datetime, '1/1/50')
The first select returns Dec 31 2049 12:00AM
The second one returns Jan 1 1950 12:00AM
I'm very comfortable with 2.5's Y2K compliance. I did notice in 2.2 that if
I put in an saExpireDate >= 1/1/2000 authentication would think that the
account was expired, but no problem in 2.5.

I assumed the date was actually checked in SQL Server on the 2050 thing.
Its very possible that putting 1/1/50 would not actually be 1/1/2050.
We are using only the new 8 digit date formats which are mmddyyyy for
inserting dates into SQL Server that resolves the date interpratation
problems.
