A little bit of weird behavior, maybe there is and easy answer. When we use some of our legacy code using @... say in vfp, if the customer keys in a 21st century date, the display switches from 2 to 4 digit year even though the field size hasn't changed on the screen, so you now see 01/01/20 with the other two 0's scrolled off the field. We would really like to find a solution for this besides set century on. Any ideas?
