>Sorry, Bonnie. SET CENTURY TO was not available in 2.0, 2.5, or 2.6. It didn't become available until VFP, and even then, not until 5.0, I think. I didn't use 3.0 much, so I'm not sure if it had it or not. The old Fox only had SET CENTURY ON/OFF.

>>>Well, Calvin, I would say that you have mis-assumed - " if century were set off and a 21st century date were typed in the system would know that the system date was the 21st century .
>>>
>>>You want to sue people because you didn't read the documentation (which is brief, but says: "SET CENTURY OFF specifies a two-digit year format that includes eight characters and assumes the twentieth century for date calculations. This is the default setting.").

>>>Seems pretty clear to me!

>>>You might want to check when the SET CENTURY TO came into the language. It may have been FP 2.6, but I really don't know (head crash a few months back eradicated my FPD 2.6a copy and I didn't reinstall). If it was 2.6, then that is a relatively painless upgrade from 2.5

>>>>I have a vertical market app written in FoxPro 2.5 for DOS. I had assumed up to this point that the Y2K problem would go away when the century actually turned over, in other words that if century were set off and a 21st century date were typed in the system would know that the system date was the 21st century and everything would be OK. Now, I ( am I the last idiot left ) find out that FoxPro DOS itself is locked into the 20th century. It does not recognize the 21st Century system date. I now understand why Microsoft is being sued over this. Why have they not provided a patch for this problem. I am in the process of moving users to a VFP version of the product but they may not chose to convert. They may instead chose to sue us for selling them a product that does not even know what century it is in. I forsee a large number of law suits directed against Redmond if they do not fix this problem!

I have FPW2.6 and it does have SET CENTURY command. I'm sure I've seen it in the DOS 2.6 version, but the help file got screwed up somehow.
