>No there isn't, but there are some products that can handle this for you. The one that comes to mind is Y2KFox (www.y2kfox.com). Otherwise, you can write your own function to emulate the rollover. One note, however, is that you'll have to do some extra work beyond the function. 2/29/00 will come out empty (because FPD will think it's invalid) Christof Lange had a work around that was in a recent FoxPro Advisor, I think.
