Thanks David,
I think I never used with VFP 8, so is good to know it works with it too. We found about this not long ago, maybe a couple of years ago when we implemented a maintenance warning "system" and we were already using VFP 9 , and in fact we found it not for date but for datetime(), and I think is very handy :)
