SUMMARY
Picture It! 99 interprets dates differently, depending on which version of the Oleaut32.dll file is installed in the system folder of your computer.

If the version of Oleaut32.dll that is installed in your system folder is 2.20.4049 or later, Picture It! 99 interprets dates with an abbreviated year format, such as mm/dd/yy, as follows:

1/1/00 through 12/31/29 are interpreted as 1/1/2000 through 12/31/2029

1/1/30 through 12/31/99 are interpreted as 1/1/1930 through 12/31/1999

If you have Microsoft Office97 and/or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, your system probably has a version of Oleaut32.dll that follows the previously outlined rules.

If the version of Oleaut32.dll that is installed in your system folder is earlier than 2.20.4049, Picture It! 99 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format as follows.

If the current century is the 20th, 1/1/00 through 12/31/99 are interpreted as 1/1/1900 through 12/31/1999

If the current century is the 21st, 1/1/00 through 12/31/99 are interpreted as 1/1/2000 through 12/31/2099
