>Check out the October 1998 FoxPro Advisor, tips section. They mention that after November of this year, SYS(2015) will start generating a string that begins with a numeric character - invalid for cursor/table names. They suggest adding a character, such as "c" for cursor, to the beginning of value.
Mark

are you saying that a strict SYS(2015), that now returns a 10 character value based on timestamp, will not return an underscore in the first character? i use 2015 for table names.
