Spencer,

This is by design according to Micorsoft. It has to do with preventing confusing dates from being displayed.

VFP6 gives even more control over this, but if you use VFP6 in a mode for Y2K compliance it will require you to use 4 digit years. For example, what date it this;

01/01/92

Well, it might be 1992, or 2092, but, in fact, when I typed it I was thinking of 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
