Hi Eric.

>I have the year, the month and the day in 3 different variable myear, mmonth and mday (char mode) and i don't know the current DATE format the user is using. How can I load this in a date field ?

If you're using VFP 6, you can use the new parameters of the DATE() function to return a date with the specified year, month, and day, regardless of the user's DATE format.
