>Why am I hearing the odd rumour that VFP has a year 2000 bug (no-one seems to have the details, but this is the 2nd time I've heard it). I am in the completion stages of migrating a DOS system to VFP 6 and this does NOT do the project anything that resembles good!

Well, this is what's at microsoft.com:

There's an update for VFP 6.0 that "resolves known year 2000
issues with several ODBC driver files the Setup Wizard includes
with optional ODBC component setups. This update is intended only for use with the Visual FoxPro 6.0 Setup Wizard."
