Dermot --

If you have a control on a Fox 2.6 form that accepts a date, you can easily write some code in the VALID snippet that would simulate the ROLLOVER feature in VFP.

Also -- The Y2K issue has been discussed at great length here on the UT, and you can probably find some helpful information from the messages posted over the last couple of weeks or so.

>Rick,
>Many thanks for the info. Unfortunately my client will not accept that a four digit year must always be entered. I am coming under pressure to provide a solution ASAP - I have tried to get a back copy of the Foxpro Advisor disc but as yet I have had no response from them. I would be grateful if you could email any suitable function to me at support@astralsoft.ie as this would get me out of a real jam. Thanks again.
