What driver you're using to get them from SQL Server (e.g. show your connection string).

I believe some drivers do not recognize new DATE fields at all.

Would you be able to use datetime column instead or you must use DATE?

Can you search VFP forum for that problem (it was discussed in the past but I don't recall exact solution)?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
