Entering a Two-Digit Year

Problem

I want to enter a two-digit year whenever I answer a date question, but HotDocs always displays the following error message: "You must enter a four-digit year".

Solution

As a safety precaution, HotDocs requires you to enter four digits when entering the year portion of a date. If you enter a two-digit date, such as 7/9/99, HotDocs responds with this message: "You must enter a four-digit year."

You can override this default option by specifying a century rollover year at the HotDocs Options dialog box. The number you enter controls how HotDocs interprets two-digit years. Two-digit years less than or equal to the number you enter are understood as 2000-century years. Two-digit years greater than the number you enter are understood as 1900-century years.

For example, if you specify a rollover value of 34, dates entered as 5/14/34 will appear as 14 May 2034. A date entered as 5/14/35 will appear as 14 May 1935.

See Control How HotDocs Handles Two-Digit and Four-Digit Years for information on setting this option.
