>1. I am working on Y2K prufin' an app developed in VFP 3.0b. I went to www.microsoft.com/technet/year2k/product/user_view69184EN.htm and found under the heading "Recommended practices to develop year 2000 compliant applications", MS talking about a century property for controls on a form. What century property? Never heard of it until today. Not mentioned in 3.0 help file. Anybody?

Hi Randy. My personal opinion on making a VFP app Y2K compliant.
- SET CENTURY ON
- widen your textboxes to have 4 digit year.
- do a search for every date function (like DTOS, DTOC...) and ensure the routines aren't making any assuptions about the century

You are done. Other opinions differ though.
