Not necessarily so. You can create a schema on VFP side where these fields would map to date fields... I know we do it in cursoradapters (there's some code in the CA class which deals with the fields which are OK with the defaults, so only a list of exceptions is needed). ISTr that it was also possible with views and perhaps SPT cursors, but haven't played with those in almost ten years.

Anyway, when you have date fields on VFP side, it all works just like before.
