>>>I think I'll just go with the flow and force the users to enter the extra two digits.
>>Not quite right. Despite the fact that four digits are shown, the user can still enter one, two, or four digits. This was true even if you SET CENTURY ON in FP 2.6. The user could enter a one or two digit year; FP would interpret it as 19xx, and display the four digits. (It shocked me when I found this out, but I tested it and it's true.) Note that this is NOT true in VFP6 if you SET STRICTDATE to 1 or 2. But if you set STRICTDATE to zero, it acts like previous versions did, allowing entry of any number of digits up to four for the year.

>That's fine, I knew about the two digit entry still working - very interesting that 1 and 3 work, that's cute. But, hey, we are talking about users here :-) - if they see 4 digits that's what they'll type.

Not MY users! Where do you get users who actually look at what they're typing into? :)
