[Dxbase] Special Event dates

[Joseph Glockner]

Gary,

I just looked at the wording in the HELP file.. Jack
says:

"At program startup, the software compares the current month based on 
your system clock and checks your database for any events entered that 
are scheduled for the current month."

This tells me that Jack is dealing with a Calendar Year
(current year only) ..

Once January 2008 rools around, you should be able to
plug-in those Dec 2008 dates and all will be ok.
