Proceed normally except:

For any dates in the year 2000 use 20 for the year, not 00.

For any reports printed in the year 2000, use the default
FROM DATE 00/00/00 and use TO DATE 12/31/99.

The following is a more detailed explanation:

1) All transaction dates in the year 1999 are entered as mm/dd/99
1) All transaction dates in the year 2000 are entered as mm/dd/20
2) All transaction dates in the year 2001 and beyond are entered as mm/dd/01, mm/dd/02, etc.
 
3) During the year 2000, to print reports that have mm/dd/99 and mm/dd/20 dates...
   The FROM DATE does not need to be changed from 00/00/00.
   Fill in a Report TO DATE of 12/31/99. 
 
4) During the year 2000, to print reports that have only mm/dd/20 dates...
   Fill in a Report FROM DATE of mm/dd/20
   fill in a Report TO DATE of mm/dd/20 where the mm/dd cover the desired time span.
 
5) During the year 2001, to print reports that have mm/dd/20 and mm/dd/01 dates...
   The FROM DATE does not need to be changed from 00/00/00.
   Fill in a Report TO DATE of 12/31/99. 
 
6) During the year 2001, to print reports that have only mm/dd/01 dates...
   Fill in a Report FROM DATE of mm/dd/01 (or leave the default of 00/00/00).
   Fill in a Report TO DATE of mm/dd/01 where the mm/dd cover the desired time span.
 
In PowerBudget Mac, the Default FROM DATE is 00/00/00, this never needs to be changed
unless you are want to print a specific time period (for example, a monthly report)
 
For example:
 
In January 2000... to print a report for the entire year 99-00,
choose FROM DATE 00/00/00 and TO DATE 12/31/99.

In January 2000... to print a report for the month of Jan for year 99-00,
choose FROM DATE 01/01/20 and TO DATE 01/31/20.
 
In June 2000... to print a report for the entire year 99-00,
choose FROM DATE 00/00/00 and TO DATE 12/31/99.

In June 2000... to print a report for the month of June for year 99-00,
choose FROM DATE 06/01/20 and TO DATE 06/30/20.
 
In December 2000... to print a report for the entire year 00-01,
choose FROM DATE 00/00/00 and TO DATE 12/31/99.

In December 2000... to print a report for the month of December for year 00-01,
choose FROM DATE 12/01/01 and TO DATE 12/31/01.
 
In June 2001... to print a report for the entire year 00-01,
choose FROM DATE 00/00/00 and TO DATE 12/31/99.

In June 2001... to print a report for the month of June for year 00-01,
choose FROM DATE 06/01/01 and TO DATE 06/31/01
 
USING A FROM DATE OF 00/00/00 and a TO DATE of 12/31/99
will ALWAYS PRODUCE ALL THE RECORDS FOR ANY BUDGET YEAR. 

The only noticeable difference will be that mm/dd/20 dates
will be sorted by themselves at the BEGINNING of the Budget Report 
if there are mm/dd/99 dates also being printed.

mm/dd/20 dates will be sorted by themselves at the END of the
Budget Report if there also mm/dd/01 dates also being printed.
 
In the real world, there should not be budgets that that
have mm/dd/99 and mm/dd/01 dates, only combinations
of mm/dd/99 and mm/dd/20 OR mm/dd/20 and mm/dd/01.
 
For Fiscal Year 01-02, simply enter the dates as
mm/dd/01 or mm/dd/02 and proceed normally.
 
The workarounds listed above apply only to Fiscal years 99-00 and 00-01.
 
WHEN IN DOUBT, CHOOSE FROM DATE of 00/00/00 and TO DATE of 12/31/99...
this ensures that all records for the Budget Year will be printed.
