Adding years to a date field

[ssurma]

How do I add 100 years to an existing date field. The date is showing as year 1900 and I need it to show as the year 2000. This was an import from a ClarisWorks database. I have tried everthing I can think of to add 100 years but it doesne't seem to work.

For all years after 1900, use the value: 36525

1900 was an exceptional year because it was not a leap year even though it's divisible by 4.

First find all the dates before say 1901 and then run this script:

Enter Browse Mode

Go To Record/Request/Page [First]

Loop

Set Field[YourDate, YourDate + 36524]

Go To Record/Request/Page [Exit After Last, Next]

End Loop

This should give accurate dates for all dates showing as 1900 rather than 2000 but not necessarily dates showing as before 1887 and after 1903 because of leap years.

Hope htis helps.
