>As near as I can determine, this problem started happening after I returned from DEVCON and installed VFP 6, but I cannot say that with absolute certainty. Have any of you had similar problems with the calendar or any other ActiveX components? If so, can you recommend a solution, or point out what I am doing wrong?

Check the calendar control. The new version of the control does not have a *public* .value property. It was broken up into 3 separate properties -- day, month,year -- all numeric. This makes it date format independent.
