SUMMARY

Q+E supports dates ranging from January 1, 1900, through December 31, 2099. When Q+E displays dates, it does so only in MM/DD/YY format. This cannot be changed. To differentiate between years in the 20th and 21st centuries, Q+E uses a capital letter in the tens place to denote that the year is in the 21st century.

The following is a list of dates showing how they display in Q+E:

   Date            Q+E

     1/1/1900      01/01/00
     2/1/1950      02/01/50
   12/25/1999      12/25/99
