Yes, I tried this on a real device. And as far as I can tell, this issue is
specific to Dell device you are using. All other 2003 devices I used have
4-digit year for UK locale (it's a default in fact). So, this is NOT a
problem with WinCE or PPC'03 platform in general. It's a result of some
image customization OEM did.

| Again, I say, with all due respect...
|
| Have you actually tried this on a real device? On 2003 devices (or the
| one that I've used) while there is the selection for multi date formats,
| ~none~ allow the display of 4-digit years, only 2.
| With the fact that this has deemed to be not a fault with the CF (which
| I agree - PPC2002 devices with CF still give the option for 4-dgit
| years), does it mean that this issue will be passed to the department
| involved or will it stop here, as "I'm alright, Jack" ?
