>I "APPEND FROM" a text file with the "SDF" type. The text file has dates in the "short year" format (i.e. 04/18/05). When the program executes from my computer (which has the full VFP9 installed), the dates are appended correctly. But when the program runs from another computer, using only the runtime files, the date comes in as "04/18/1905". I have SET CENTURY ON in the program.

Oh, that kind of "Wrong date"... I expected something more "juicy" :)

set date and set century commands (among many others) have a data session scope, they revert to their own or default values as you change data session. This means that if you set century on in your main prg, it will not be respected in your form is the form has a private datasession, not sure if it applies in your case, but it never hurts to check :)
