As most of you know, Sansui Serial Numbers have a production date coded into them. The third digit is the year and the 4th and 5th digits represent the month. To convert that into a calendar month and year is simple if you know the decade when the unit was made and you are only doing one or two serial numbers.
Up until now, I've been doing those conversions manually when adding new serial numbers to the database. That got old fast so I reached out to the folks on AccessForums.net for help in writing code that would extract the production date in a calendar month/year format.
I want to formally thank Micron from AccessForums.net for substantial work he did to develop this code.
Now that it's automated, I'll be able to clean up the production dates for many models where it's incorrect as well as more quickly upload new serial numbers.
Hat's off to Micron.
