Hi Jeff, I think this is a real problem. It also happens even if you use a VFP textbox or a grid/browse. I don't know any easy fix :-(
It's hard to convince some folks that it's a problem that really needs to be addressed. SET CENTURY OFF has been kneecapped by those that think they know what's good for us :-(
