>That looks pretty good, George -- one other thought struck me since yesterday -- are there any other values besides '0000' that might cause trouble? Probably not, but maybe running through some kind of loop starting at 01/01/0001 to check might be a good idea, just to be safe, since we can now assume I think that MS Vfp testers didn't cover this area very well...
Hi Bruce,
Brenda already has mentioned that '000' causes the same thing. Beyond that, I'd doubt it, with a hedge.
The hedge is to consider that any before about the 18th century
may be invalid. The Gregorian Calendar wasn't introduced until the 17th century, and wasn't completely in use in the Western World until sometime in the 18th. So the validity
any date before that time could be questioned. What a way to start a Friday.:-)
