>>>Is anyone else out there concerned that VFP (to my knowledge) doesn't offer a date field format which will store the century? Any app that I create that uses dates in the calculations will become useless on Jan 1, 2000. Is there an option or switch somewhere that enabled 8 digit date storage, or is the only solution to create my own date format in a text field? Was this addressed at devcon or any other events?

>>You shoudn't worry about this! Check SET CENTURY ROLLOVER in your manual. It will do all job.
