VFP is storing your dates with the century. So regular date math should still work. e.g., ldNextDay = DateField + 1, lnDays = Date() - DateField. You just have to make sure that whatever you SET CENTURY TO and ROLLOVER to are appropriate for the data being entered. It should not be necessary to convert between character string and date types.
