Incorrect Dates since 2010 began

[arlo12]

We are a non-profit with a database of all our donors. I believe this problem is tied in with the new year, i.e., going from 2009 to 2010 because that's when it started. All fields with automatic dates have changed all dates in 1999 and earlier to 2099 (or earlier). In other words, a donation made 1/2/1999 is now listed as 1/2/2099. Same going back to 1994 when we created the database (now 2094, etc.). Years 2000 through 2010 are good. This has enormous repercussions. I can go in and manually change the donation date from 2099 to 1999, but that will be very tedious.

My platform is Mac OS X.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Since there really is no such thing as an "automatic date," I'd have to assume that the developer only store a two digit year. Do you have access to define fields? If so, you can trace a date field and see how it is defined or set (by a script).
