Operational Range for Data: System Dependent

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PhotoDraw 2000 version 2.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

How the product handles dates:

PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2 is an imaging program that does not handle or parse dates other than those that the operating system provides by supplying Created, Modified, and Accessed dates on the General tab of the Properties dialog box (File menu). These dates are in 4-digit-year formats. Files saved beyond the year 2000 can be found by using a date search in the Windows Find feature.

The program also supports Date Completed and Recorded Date entries on the Custom tab of the Properties dialog box. Note that a Windows NT 4.0 date issue can interfere with the entry of dates containing 2-digit years (such as 02/02/00), however a software update can be downloaded to resolve this. See Knowledge Base article Q183125 to download this software update.

The trial release of PhotoDraw 2000 contains expiration date code that supports the industry-standard test periods of December 15, 1999, through March 15, 2000 and December 15, 2000, through March 15, 2001. Otherwise, the program expires 30 days after it is first used.

Two-digit shortcut handling:

PhotoDraw does not accept date inputs except in common Office dialogs as described in the Microsoft Office product guide.

PhotoDraw 2000 uses a number of Microsoft Office 2000 shared files for the implementation of dialogs and toolbars, task automation, online help, installation, graphics, file find and file I/O. For additional information that is appropriate for PhotoDraw 2000, please refer either to the document for the particular Office version that this application came with, or, in the case of a standalone product, to any version 2000 Microsoft Office document.


Legend of Symbols:
*The product is compliant. User action is recommended, which may include loading a software update or assessing shared technology.
#The product is compliant with an acceptable deviation from Microsoft's standard of compliance. An acceptable deviation does not affect the core functionality, data integrity, stability or reliability of the product.
+The product is compliant . Software updates are pending. Future maintenance actions will be recommended shortly.
Note: Compliance ratings given for each product assume that all recommended actions have been taken.

Picture It  2.0   (English)

Product Summary
Product: Picture It Version: 2.0 Category:Compliant*
Language: English OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
Operational Range: -
Prerequisites: Most recent version of OLEAUT32.dll
Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows 98, Window NT 4.0 or Windows NT 5.0
Clock Dependencies: none
Last Updated: 21 Oct 1999
Product Details
Operational Range for Data:  Any 4 digit; 1930 – 2029 2 digit
        
Release Dates: 8/13/97 North America;10/15/97 French, Italian, German, Spanish; 12/19/97 Korean; 5/15/98 Japanese   

How the product handles dates:
The Organize Pictures task has a description entry field for entering dates. The user is allowed to type in a 2-digit year or a 4 digit year.  If the year is 2 digit, Picture It! 2.0 displays/stores dates from 1930 to 2029.  If the year is 4 digit, the product will display/store that year.

The Organize It! task also has a FIND utility. The Find feature also has a search by date field.  This field also accepts 4 digit or 2 digit date entry.  This feature matches the same behavior as that found in the Organize Pictures description utility.

Note:  On the Korean version the date fields have been removed. The user will not have the ability to type in dates in the Organize Pictures task.

In the Calendar Task the calendar only allows four digit entry of dates.  It accepts values between 1800 and 2200.  The year 2000 leap year displays correctly.

When displaying dates the application uses system settings in the Control Panel defined by the user.

Two-digit shortcut handling:
If the string is entered as 03/10/00, it is then converted into a four digit date format using the VarDateFromString() function in OLEAUT32.dll of the operating system. OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.


Recommendations to meet compliance:

Two-digit shortcut handling:
Microsoft Picture It 2.0's interpretation of dates depends on the version OLEAUT32.DLL in the system folder.

A) If your OLEAUT32.DLL has a version of 2.20.4049 or greater, Picture It 2.0 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format, such as mm/dd/yy, to mean the 21st century. Office97 and Windows NT 4.0 install a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that follows these rules.

  • 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

    B) If your version of OLEAUT32.DLL is less than 2.20.4049, Picture It 2.0 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format to mean the current century in the following way. Windows 95 installs a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that follows these rules.

    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

    To determine the version of OLEAUT 32.DLL you have:
    1.    Click on the Start button. Go to Find > Files or Folders
    2.    Enter Oleaut in Named Section; Choose [C:] to look in
    3.    Highlight Oleaut 32.dll
    4.    Click on File > Properties
    5.    Select the Version tab:
           If File version is 2.20.4094 or higher the below download is not required.
    If File version is less than 2.20.4094, the below download is necessary for Picture It to follow the 2-digit date window of 1930-2029.

    Picture It  2.0   (German)

    Product Summary
    Product: Picture It Version: 2.0 Category:Compliant*
    Language: German OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: Most recent version of OLEAUT32.dll
    Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows 98, Window NT 4.0 or Windows NT 5.0
    Clock Dependencies: none
    Last Updated: 21 Oct 1999
    Product Details
    Operational Range for Data:  Any 4 digit; 1930 – 2029 2 digit
            
    Release Dates: 8/13/97 North America;10/15/97 French, Italian, German, Spanish; 12/19/97 Korean; 5/15/98 Japanese   

    How the product handles dates:
    The Organize Pictures task has a description entry field for entering dates. The user is allowed to type in a 2-digit year or a 4 digit year.  If the year is 2 digit, Picture It! 2.0 displays/stores dates from 1930 to 2029.  If the year is 4 digit, the product will display/store that year.

    The Organize It! task also has a FIND utility. The Find feature also has a search by date field.  This field also accepts 4 digit or 2 digit date entry.  This feature matches the same behavior as that found in the Organize Pictures description utility.

    Note:  On the Korean version the date fields have been removed. The user will not have the ability to type in dates in the Organize Pictures task.

    In the Calendar Task the calendar only allows four digit entry of dates.  It accepts values between 1800 and 2200.  The year 2000 leap year displays correctly.

    When displaying dates the application uses system settings in the Control Panel defined by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:
    If the string is entered as 03/10/00, it is then converted into a four digit date format using the VarDateFromString() function in OLEAUT32.dll of the operating system. OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.


    Recommendations to meet compliance:

    Two-digit shortcut handling:
    Microsoft Picture It 2.0's interpretation of dates depends on the version OLEAUT32.DLL in the system folder.

    A) If your OLEAUT32.DLL has a version of 2.20.4049 or greater, Picture It 2.0 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format, such as mm/dd/yy, to mean the 21st century. Office97 and Windows NT 4.0 install a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that follows these rules.

  • 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

    B) If your version of OLEAUT32.DLL is less than 2.20.4049, Picture It 2.0 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format to mean the current century in the following way. Windows 95 installs a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that follows these rules.

    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

    To determine the version of OLEAUT 32.DLL you have:
    1.    Click on the Start button. Go to Find > Files or Folders
    2.    Enter Oleaut in Named Section; Choose [C:] to look in
    3.    Highlight Oleaut 32.dll
    4.    Click on File > Properties
    5.    Select the Version tab:
           If File version is 2.20.4094 or higher the below download is not required.
    If File version is less than 2.20.4094, the below download is necessary for Picture It to follow the 2-digit date window of 1930-2029.

OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.


    Recommendations to meet compliance:

    Two-digit shortcut handling:
    Microsoft Picture It 2.0's interpretation of dates depends on the version OLEAUT32.DLL in the system folder.

    A) If your OLEAUT32.DLL has a version of 2.20.4049 or greater, Picture It 2.0 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format, such as mm/dd/yy, to mean the 21st century. Office97 and Windows NT 4.0 install a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that follows these rules.

  • 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

    B) If your version of OLEAUT32.DLL is less than 2.20.4049, Picture It 2.0 interprets dates entered with an abbreviated year format to mean the current century in the following way. Windows 95 installs a version of OLEAUT32.DLL that follows these rules.

    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

    To determine the version of OLEAUT 32.DLL you have:
    1.    Click on the Start button. Go to Find > Files or Folders
    2.    Enter Oleaut in Named Section; Choose [C:] to look in
    3.    Highlight Oleaut 32.dll
    4.    Click on File > Properties
    5.    Select the Version tab:
           If File version is 2.20.4094 or higher the below download is not required.
    If File version is less than 2.20.4094, the below download is necessary for Picture It to follow the 2-digit date window of 1930-2029.

    Product Summary
    Product: Picture It Version: 2.0 Category:Compliant*
    Language: Spanish OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: Most recent version of OLEAUT32.dll
    Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows 98, Window NT 4.0 or Windows NT 5.0
    Clock Dependencies: none
    Last Updated: 21 Oct 1999
    Product Details
    Operational Range for Data:  Any 4 digit; 1930 – 2029 2 digit   

    Release Dates: 8/13/97 North America;10/15/97 French, Italian, German, Spanish; 12/19/97 Korean; 5/15/98 Japanese   

    How the product handles dates:
    The Organize Pictures task has a description entry field for entering dates. The user is allowed to type in a 2-digit year or a 4 digit year.  If the year is 2 digit, Picture It! 2.0 displays/stores dates from 1930 to 2029.  If the year is 4 digit, the product will display/store that year.

    The Organize It! task also has a FIND utility. The Find feature also has a search by date field.  This field also accepts 4 digit or 2 digit date entry.  This feature matches the same behavior as that found in the Organize Pictures description utility.

    Note:  On the Korean version the date fields have been removed. The user will not have the ability to type in dates in the Organize Pictures task.

    In the Calendar Task the calendar only allows four digit entry of dates.  It accepts values between 1800 and 2200.  The year 2000 leap year displays correctly.

    When displaying dates the application uses system settings in the Control Panel defined by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:
    If the string is entered as 03/10/00, it is then converted into a four digit date format using the VarDateFromString() function in OLEAUT32.dll of the operating system. OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.

    How the product handles dates:

    Users enter dates in the Calendar Task (one month, three month, and 12 month).

    The following calls are used in the Picture It! 2000 engine:

     

    GetLocalTime( LPSYSTEMTIME systemtime );

    GetLocaleInfo( … )

     

    Both are direct calls into Kernel32.dll. They are used to get the current time, the day of week, weekday name and month name.

    Picture It! 2000 does not store dates in its MIX file format. The dates are rendered using the engine and are stored as a vector text object, not as a date format.

     

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    Not applicable. The user cannot enter a 2-digit year format in fields. They are given choices to select in drop down list boxes. Year choices are 4 digit.

     

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    CASE 1: Verify leap year dates are rendered correctly

      1. Open 12 Month Calendar task
      2. Open any template
      3. In Step 2 of the task select February 2000

    Verify that Feb 29, 2000 falls on a Tuesday


    CASE 2: Verify user can enter date between year 1800 and 2200

      1. Open 12 month calendar task
      2. Open any template
      3. In step 2 of the task select 1800 year.

    Language: English OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: Internet Explorer 4.01(if using Windows 95)

    Last Updated: 21 Oct 1999
    Product Details

    Operational Range for Data:  Any 4 digit; 1930 – 2029 2 digit

    Release Dates: 8/12/98 North America, 9/15/98 French, Italian, German Spanish, 11/15/98 Japanese

    Recommendations to meet compliance:
    As Picture It! 99 needs Internet Explorer 4 in order to work properly, the product ships with the Internet Explorer 4 setup files.   Internet Explorer 4 installs the necessary OLEAUT32.dll version as a result.  Thus, Picture It! 99 is compliant on Windows operating systems with Internet Explorer 4 or greater.  Please refer to Internet Explorer 4 Product Guide document for IE4 product specific information.

    How the product handles dates:
    The Organize It! task has a Description entry field for entering in Dates. The user is allowed to type in a 2 digit year or a 4 digit year.  If the year is 2 digit Picture It! displays/stores dates from 1930 to 2029.  If the year is 4 digit, the product will display /store is for that year.

    The Organize It! task also has a FIND utility. The Find feature also has a search by date field.  This field also accepts 4 digit or 2 digit date entry.  This feature matches the same behavior as indicated above.

    In the Calendar Task the calendar only allows four digit entry of dates.  It accepts values between 1800 and 2200.  The year 2000 leap year displays correctly.

    When displaying dates the application uses system settings in the Control Panel defined by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:
    If the string is entered as 03/10/00, it is then converted into a four digit date format using the VarDateFromString() function in OLEAUT32.dll of the operating system. OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.

    Product Summary
    Product: Picture It Version: 99 Category:Compliant*
    Language: Italian OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: N/A
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: Internet Explorer 4.01(if using Windows 95)
    Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4
    Clock Dependencies: none
    Last Updated: 21 Oct 1999
    Product Details

    Operational Range for Data:  Any 4 digit; 1930 – 2029 2 digit

    Release Dates: 8/12/98 North America, 9/15/98 French, Italian, German Spanish, 11/15/98 Japanese

    Recommendations to meet compliance:
    As Picture It! 99 needs Internet Explorer 4 in order to work properly, the product ships with the Internet Explorer 4 setup files.   Internet Explorer 4 installs the necessary OLEAUT32.dll version as a result.  Thus, Picture It! 99 is compliant on Windows operating systems with Internet Explorer 4 or greater.  Please refer to Internet Explorer 4 Product Guide document for IE4 product specific information.

    How the product handles dates:
    The Organize It! task has a Description entry field for entering in Dates. The user is allowed to type in a 2 digit year or a 4 digit year.  If the year is 2 digit Picture It! displays/stores dates from 1930 to 2029.  If the year is 4 digit, the product will display /store is for that year.

    The Organize It! task also has a FIND utility. The Find feature also has a search by date field.  This field also accepts 4 digit or 2 digit date entry.  This feature matches the same behavior as indicated above.

    In the Calendar Task the calendar only allows four digit entry of dates.  It accepts values between 1800 and 2200.  The year 2000 leap year displays correctly.

    When displaying dates the application uses system settings in the Control Panel defined by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:
    If the string is entered as 03/10/00, it is then converted into a four digit date format using the VarDateFromString() function in OLEAUT32.dll of the operating system. OLEAUT32.dll performs the conversion properly if the version of OLEAUT32.dll  is greater than or equal to 2.20.4094. On the retail release of  Windows 95, OLEAUT32.dll is an earlier version and does not perform the four digit date conversion correctly. It coverts the string to March 10, 1900.  OSR2 and greater versions of Windows 95 perform the conversion to four digit date format properly. It converts to March 10, 2000.  For more information see the Windows 95 Product Guide.

    Product Summary
    Product: Picture It Express Version: 2000 Category:Compliant
    Language: Chinese - Traditional OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: 06 Oct 1999
    Operational Range: 01 Jan 1800 - 31 Dec 2200

    Product Dependencies: Internet Explorer 5.0, Windows 9x, Windows NT 4 Service Pack 4 and above

    Last Updated: 21 Oct 1999
    Product Details

    How the product handles dates:

    Users can enter dates in the Calendar Task (one month, three month, and 12 month).

    The following calls are used in the Picture It! engine:

     

    GetLocalTime( LPSYSTEMTIME systemtime );

    GetLocaleInfo( … )

     

    Both are direct calls into Kernel32.dll. They are used to get the current time, the day of week, weekday name and month name.

    Picture It! it does not store dates in its MIX file format. The dates are rendered using the engine and are stored as a vector text object, not as a date format.

     

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    Not applicable. The user cannot enter a 2-digit-year format in fields. They are given choices to select in drop down list boxes. Year choices are 4 digits.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    CASE 1: Verify leap year dates are rendered correctly

      1. Open 12 Month Calendar task
      2. Open any template
      3. In Step 2 of the task select February 2000

    Verify that Feb 29, 2000 falls on a Tuesday


    CASE 2: Verify user can enter date between year 1800 and 2200

      1. Open 12 month calendar task
      2. Open any template
      3. In step 2 of the task select 1800 year.

        Verify it renders

      4. In step 2 of the task select 2200 year

    Verify it renders.

    Product Details

    Description of how the product handles dates:

    Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string when viewing in slide show or printing. PowerPoint uses Macintosh script manager calls (LongDateString & TimeString) to format the displayed date. These Mac toolbox routines use the system’s script resources to provide all the formatting information. All date calculations goes through the same function.

    2-digit shortcut handling:

    Microsoft PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry.

    Opening Microsoft PowerPoint 98 files in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 for the Macintosh with the use of post-ship import converters may result in an incorrect date format. Presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 98 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". To work around this incorrect display, do not use 2-digit year formats when selecting 'update automatically'. Another workaround is to open the presentation in PowerPoint 98 and resave it in the Microsoft PowerPoint 4 file format. For this method to work you must replace the original PP7TRANS.DLL that shipped with Office with PowerPoint Translator 8-4 version 8.0.4 located in the PowerPoint 98 product guide.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    The following areas should be examined to verify that dates are being properly used. The table below can be used to guide testing of Microsoft PowerPoint within your organization.

    • Prerequisites: Saving Microsoft PowerPoint 98 files to PowerPoint 4 format with the use of PP 8-4 Translator may result in an incorrect date format. Presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 98 and saved as Microsoft PowerPoint 4 files after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". The fix for this problem is to download PP 8-4 Translator version 8.04 (see below).

    Download PP 8-4 Translator version 8.04 (U.S.)

    Clock Dependencies: Both Operating System and internal clocks are used. The internal clock is used only for time functions in slideshow rehearsal, animations and short delays. Mac PowerPoint uses GetTime and GetDateTime to get the current time from the system. These are toolbox routines that return the number of seconds from Jan 1 1904. These values are only used for inserting the current time into the document or to fill out the Properties dialog. Mac PowerPoint uses the system’s internal timer for timing slide show, rehearsals, and cursor handling.

    Product Details

    Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PowerPoint 2000 version 9.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

     

    How the product handles dates:

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: none
    Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 or later

    Product Details

    Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PowerPoint 2000 version 9.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

     

    How the product handles dates:

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

    Product Details

    Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PowerPoint 2000 version 9.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

     

    How the product handles dates:

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

    Language: Lithuanian OS: 32-Bit Win Release Date: 25 Mar 1999
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: none
    Product Dependencies: Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 or later

    Product Details

    Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PowerPoint 2000 version 9.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

     

    How the product handles dates:

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

     

    How the product handles dates:

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

    Product Details

    Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers’ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain PowerPoint 2000 version 9.0 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

     

    How the product handles dates:

    Dates are stored in string format or a metacharacter placeholder that gets and displays the current system time as a string. The GetDateFormat system function converts the current date to a string according to system settings selected by the user.

    Two-digit shortcut handling:

    PowerPoint supports 2-digit shortcuts for date field display only. User entry is text only and is not considered a date representation.

    Common date usage errors:

    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a PowerPoint presentation because it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations, and other operations are best conducted by using standard document properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:

    In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with nonduplicated production files because side effects with other products cannot be predicted. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products can be conducted safely.

    The following areas should be looked at to verify that dates are being properly used. This table can be used to guide testing of PowerPoint within your organization.

    PowerPoint 4.0    (Canadian French)

    Product Summary
    Product: PowerPoint 4.0 Version: Category:Compliant
    Language: Canadian French OS: 16-Bit Win Release Date: 01 Feb 1994
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: none
    Product Dependencies: MS DOS Operating System 3.1 or later; or Windows Operating System 3.1 or later; or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or later; or Windows for Pen Computing; or Windows NT Operating System 3.1 or later.
    Clock Dependencies: Both operating system and internal clocks are used. The internal clock is used only for time functions in slideshow rehearsal, animations and short delays. PowerPoint uses the Windows GetLocalTime call to get the current date and time from the system.
    Last Updated: 30 Apr 1999
    Product Details

    Description of how the product handles dates:
    Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string when viewing in slide show or printing. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert current date to a string according to the user-selected system settings. All date handling undergoes the same function.

    2-digit shortcut handling:
    Microsoft PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry.

    Opening Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 files in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 with the use of the import converters PP7TRANS.DLL (16 bit) and PP8TRANS.DLL will result in an incorrect date format. Presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". To work around this incorrect display, do not use 2-digit year formats when selecting 'update automatically'. Another workaround is to open the presentation in PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and resave it in the Microsoft PowerPoint 4 file format. For this method to work, you must replace the original PP7TRANS.DLL that shipped with Office 95 and Office 97 with, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (for the U.S.). This download is available in both the PowerPoint 95 and PowerPoint 97 product guide. There is no fix currently available for the correcting the PowerPoint 4 installation.

    Common date usage errors:
    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:
    The following areas should be examined to verify that dates are being properly used. The table below can be used to guide testing of Microsoft PowerPoint within your organization.

    Microsoft PowerPoint stores dates in string format and calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert today's date to a string. All date calculation goes through the same function. So PPT should be OK.

    • Use presentations that contain dates as test files for open/save, file conversion, printing, and slideshow.
    • Change systems date prior to the year of 2000. Create and save test files. Change systems date to year of 2000 or later and reopen presentation.

     

    • Change systems date to year of 2000 or later. Create and save test files. Change the systems date prior to the year of 2000 and reopen presentation.
    • Reopen the test file under a localized system where the system clock is set to a date/time in a year greater than or equal to 2000.

    Microsoft PowerPoint stores dates in string format and calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert today's date to a string. All date calculation goes through the same function. So PPT should be OK.

    • Use presentations that contain dates as test files for open/save, file conversion, printing, and slideshow.
    • Change systems date prior to the year of 2000. Create and save test files. Change systems date to year of 2000 or later and reopen presentation.

     

    • Change systems date to year of 2000 or later. Create and save test files. Change the systems date prior to the year of 2000 and reopen presentation.
    • Reopen the test file under a localized system where the system clock is set to a date/time in a year greater than or equal to 2000.

    Product Summary
    Product: PowerPoint 4.0 Version: Category:Compliant
    Language: Czech OS: 16-Bit Win Release Date: 01 Feb 1994
    Operational Range: -
    Prerequisites: None
    Product Dependencies: MS DOS Operating System 3.1 or later; or Windows Operating System 3.1 or later; or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or later; or Windows for Pen Computing; or Windows NT Operating System 3.1 or later.
    Clock Dependencies: Both operating system and internal clocks are used. The internal clock is used only for time functions in slideshow rehearsal, animations and short delays. PowerPoint uses the Windows GetLocalTime call to get the current date and time from the system.
    Last Updated: 30 Apr 1999
    Product Details

    Description of how the product handles dates:
    Microsoft PowerPoint stores all dates in a metacharacter placeholder that obtains and displays the current system time as a string when viewing in slide show or printing. Microsoft PowerPoint calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert current date to a string according to the user-selected system settings. All date handling undergoes the same function.

    2-digit shortcut handling:
    Microsoft PowerPoint handles 2-digit dates for date field display only. User entry is text only and not considered a date representation. There is no conversion for user entry.

    Opening Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 files in Microsoft PowerPoint 4 with the use of the import converters PP7TRANS.DLL (16 bit) and PP8TRANS.DLL will result in an incorrect date format. Presentations created in Microsoft PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 after 1999 with 'update automatically' date formats containing 2-digit years will be incorrectly displayed in PowerPoint 4 as a 2-digit year preceded by a "1". To work around this incorrect display, do not use 2-digit year formats when selecting 'update automatically'. Another workaround is to open the presentation in PowerPoint 95 or Microsoft PowerPoint 97 and resave it in the Microsoft PowerPoint 4 file format. For this method to work, you must replace the original PP7TRANS.DLL that shipped with Office 95 and Office 97 with, PP7TRANS.DLL version 7.07.1060 (for the U.S.). This download is available in both the PowerPoint 95 and PowerPoint 97 product guide. There is no fix currently available for the correcting the PowerPoint 4 installation.

    Common date usage errors:
    User applications should not rely on the text date representation within a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation since it is only available as plain text. Query, calculations and other operations are best conducted using standard Document Properties.

    Testing guidelines and recommendations:
    The following areas should be examined to verify that dates are being properly used. The table below can be used to guide testing of Microsoft PowerPoint within your organization.

    Microsoft PowerPoint stores dates in string format and calls the GetDateFormat system function to convert today's date to a string. All date calculation goes through the same function. So PPT should be OK.

    • Use presentations that contain dates as test files for open/save, file conversion, printing, and slideshow.
    • Change systems date prior to the year of 2000. Create and save test files. Change systems date to year of 2000 or later and reopen presentation.

     

    • Change systems date to year of 2000 or later. Create and save test files. Change the systems date prior to the year of 2000 and reopen presentation.
    • Reopen the test file under a localized system where the system clock is set to a date/time in a year greater than or equal to 2000.
