Hi George,

I placed a textbox on a form and bound it to a form property ( MyDate ). Put SET CENTURY TO 19 ROLLOVER 60 and THISFORM.MyDate = { / / } in the init of the form. When I type 01/01/00 in the textbox and tab to another text box, 01/01/2000 is displayed in the first textbox. Do you have sufficient room in the textbox to display all characters? Are you using some sort of input mask in the textbox?
