Calvin,

The quote was from 2.5 - I have the books for that. My 2.6 was an upgrade, with only online docs and no books. Losing my HD meant losing my 2.6 (amongst lots of other stuff too).

I guess the best that I can suggest is that you *can* code around this (excpet if you use that LUPDATE thingy, I suppose), now that you know about it. Surely your product users could not sue if you provided them with a new and equivalent version which is directed solely at the Y2K problem. If I were one of your users and was happy as a clam with the DOS version, then that's about all that I would be interested in - not some new fancy-dancy VFP version.

Good luck with this, and I feel that you can do it,

>Jim, if I gave the impression that I want to sue anyone I am sorry. I just don't want to get sued myself and now I am fairly certain it is going to happen. We are rewriting in VFP but we have thousands of users and many of them are just as happy as can be with the DOS version. The problem is more complex than just going to a 4 digit century since there are hundreds of forms involved where spacing is sometimes crucial. By the way the quote from the documentation- is that from Fox26 or VFP?
