Hi all,

Playing around with the StrToDate() fonction, I discovered that year 2015 doesn't work at all and after 2020, dates role back to 1900.

Some of us probably are making softwares that will last more than 5 years... so I think this point needs some consideration.

Just like the Year 2000 bug, we have our own Year 2015 and year 2020 BUG Very Happy

Here is the bug in action:

	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/14 0:0:1");
	DUMP(time);
	DUMP(time.Get());
	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/2015:0:1");
	DUMP(time);
	DUMP(time.Get());
	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/15:0:1");
	DUMP(time);
	DUMP(time.Get());
	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/16 0:0:1");
	DUMP(time);
	DUMP(time.Get());

	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/19 0:0:1");
	DUMP(time);
	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/20 0:0:1");
	DUMP(time);
	time = timeConverter.Scan("1/1/21 0:0:1");
	DUMP(time);

Here is the output:

time = 01/01/2014 00:00:01
time.Get() = 63555753601
time = 
time.Get() = -1034058182400
time = 
time.Get() = -1034058182400
time = 01/01/2016 00:00:01
time.Get() = 63618825601
time = 01/01/2019 00:00:01
time = 01/01/1920 00:00:01
time = 01/01/1921 00:00:01
