Change Year
Posted by Scott on July 05, 2001 2:31 PM
I've got about 1000 rows of data with the date as one of my column fields. I entered the date using the 4/27 format.....without entering the year (They all defaulted to 2001 without me knowing it)....Now, I need to go back and change some of the dates to 4/27/89, 4/27/91....Is there a quick way of doing this so I don't have to go back and retype all of these dates back in? Thanks, Scott

If you entered them in chronological order, you could use Find and Replace for each year. For instance highlight your 200 dates in a row from 1987, type in 2001 in find and 1997 in replace and replace all. If they aren't in order ... yikes.
