That'd be why you don't see the '19' :-) I've also discovered that TimEd 
doesn't seem to be able to display 4-digits correctly after 2k, but it does 
seem to *handle* them OK..

Nope, all I've done is select the NZ standard for the date. Maybe I'll change 
it to a 2-digit year field, could fix another nuisance I've been meaning to 
get onto for ages :-)
Thanks for the idea ;-)
