IMPORTANT NEWS!



Faxnow! is Year 2000 compliant.

RedRock Technologies is committed to providing user-friendly and quality software products both now and in the future. This aim is adhered to in all areas of our software, including that of the year 2000 issue. There are two main areas where a problem can be encountered with dates, firstly validating a date at the time of entry and secondly storing the date.

FaxNow! v3 calendar control

FaxNow! version 3 calendar control

Dates entered manually are validated. FaxNow!, provides users with a custom calendar control, this control will automatically generate valid dates. Entering dates in this way ensures that no invalid dates are passed to FaxNow! for storing.

Storing Dates

All dates in FaxNow! are stored using a 32-bit value specifying the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970 (UTC). This time is supplied to us by the Microsoft Visual C++® runtime library.

Displaying Dates

FaxNow! will format dates for display by using the "Short date style:" of the Windows operating system. This can be set by launching Control Panel and selecting Regional Settings, Date tab. If at any time you need clarification of a date stored by FaxNow! we recommend you format the short date style as the following "dd/mm/yyyy". Doing this will force FaxNow! to display four digits for a year.
