>>I haven't been on the Thread in a while - you probably have found the answer by now to your question! Anyway, as far as I know Leap Year 2000 should not be a problem in FoxPro 2.6 - it's not in our app. FoxPro uses 4 digit date fields, and I've researched the fact that Leap year 2000 is not a problem either.

That's because "normal" century years are not leap years -- otherwise we'd get ahead of ourselves. Presumably a millenium year is a leap year (I wasn't around for the last one so I don't remember if it was or not)
I think we should just pick up the planet and move it slightly so that its orbit corresponds to an exact (& non-prime) number of days. Then we could have a calendar that made sense.

A bipolar theory does not neatly describe a continuum.
Before millenium: chop wood, draw water. After millenium: chop wood, draw water.
