Leap year date of birth

Leap year date of birth in Paradox Reports topic (part of our Corel Paradox / ObjectPAL Coding group).

To all,

I have a report that includes dates of birth when printed.  I have 4 digit year set as true in the BDE.

For one particular dob (2/29/1996), the date of birth prints as 2/29/2996!  In the table, it is 2/29/1996.  This is a leap year birthday.  Although obviously not correct, it concerns my users. This report has printed tens of thousands of dates of birth and this is the first one they have noticed is wrong.

Any thoughts?

Greg
