>Let me give you one more stupid question -
>can the "SET CENTURY" setting be defined automatically, dependently by current date, or I need to set it handly with every VFP starting? My VFP version is 5.0.

Sure. If I understand you correctly. In the main prg of your app (and in the load of any forms with a private datasession).

IF date >= {^2000/01/01}
  SET CENTURY ON
ELSE
  SET CENTURY OFF
ENDIF

Personally, I always have SET CENTURY ON.
