Surely, you can SET CENTURY ON for whole form, i.e. from LOAD to UNLOAD event, but it may interfere with other form/controls behaviour. IMO, the better way is to set tooltiptext property to custom method:
Button.Tooltiptext=thisform.gettooltip()
***Form,Getttoltip method
local cCenturystatus,cRetvalue
cCenturystatus=set("century")
set century on
cRetvalue=cdow(date)()+','+mdy(date())
set century off
return cRetvalue

Firstly, reccount returns integer, and you need in character: ALLTRIM(STR(reccount()))

>Also the grid has a date textbox.What I want to do is whenever the user places the mouse cursor on a particular record in the date textbox , the day i.e. Monday etc , is shown in the ToolTips.

Use Textbox.Tooltiptext property
