>I am trying to use a default value for my dates in the DBC. It seems that no matter how I store the date constant, it is stored using the old {MM/DD/CCYY} format. If I set strictdate to 1, I get the error "Error reading a property from the database. The property is ignored." And my date defaults are ignored.

William,

Enter your dat constant as a strictdate format, that is {^YYYY/MM/DD}

The carrot at the beginning is important as it marks the constant as strictdate format.

This format works in VFP5 and VFP6.
