Unless I set strictdate to 0, I get errors.

William,

Here's what I just did.

Set Strictdate to 1

Created a database
Created a table with one date field and set the default for that field to
{^1998/01/01}

Browsed the table and used Table-Append New Record 10 times to put records in the table.

I got no errors at all from VFP6.

Are you doing something different?
