Maybe set century &(thisform.p_CenturyOnOff), but I wouldn't even try that - I'm with Tore on this one.

However, my solution would be to use Tom Rettig's envlib.prg and simply, in form's .load() (because .init() may be too late - some behaviors, which may depend on SET()s, may be set in controls' inits, and form.init() comes after all of them), like this:

* form.load()
this.addproperty("setCent", newobject("setcentury","envlib.prg", "", "ON")

and when the form exits, this property vanishes with it, and form.setCent object is released - and as with all classes from envlib.prg, it resets the setting it's in charge of to its previous value (unless you set its .lNoReset=.t.) in its .destroy(), so the oneliner above is all you need.
