Hi Bruce,
In VFP 5.0, I find that you have to explicitly set the default century. I use this in my startup code:

SET CENT TO VAL(LEFT(ALLT(STR(YEAR(DATE()))), 2))

HTH!

>>I'm trying to do my vfp5 Y2K testing & documentation. However, when I set the system clock to 2000, and enter a 2-digit year into a date field, it still assigns century 19. This is with no ROLLOVER set, and a fresh vfp session. I tried rebooting the machine, but it always changes the date back to the current one, so whether that affects it, I can't tell...although I tried saving a file, and it had Y2K assigned correctly.

>>Why doesn't the date pick up the current century when in Y2K, am I missing a setting or something?
