All I did was install it and add the .exe to the command path (d:\winapps\usttrack\y2kfoxw.exe /a25 d:\WINAPPS\USTTRACK\USTrack.EXE). We also opted to 'set century on' so the field sizes needed to be changed and I am still struggling to get the users to enter mm/dd/yyyy date format. You may also encounter some gotcha's with left() and right() manifestations of weird date manulaptions and calculations but absolutely no problems with Y2KFOX.

Bob,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm likin' this approach more and more...

One question, our app is *not* compiled as the owner likes to be able to "tweek" it occasionally. Will Y2KFox work with a .prg / .fxp file just as it does with a .exe ???

Thanks again
