Hi Rick,

>In general, all you have to do to handle Y2K in FPW2.6 or FPD2.6 is 1) SET CENTURY ON, 2) expand all date fields to a width of 10 characters (in screens and on reports), and 3) stick a UDF call in the VALID() of all your date GET's to return date + 100 years if the date the user entered is less than some rollover date of your choosing.

Just a word of warning here. Depending on your code it might not be as easy. With SET CENTURY ON, the CTOD() function behaves differently and returns a 10-character string, not 8 characters. Your program might depend on that size, for example for string manipulations, or because you write the string into a text file. Another problem is that some application turn ON and OFF SET CENTURY as they need it.

So you have to review your entire code to make sure it does work with a different SET CENTURY setting, just changing the width might not be sufficient.
