Hi Bret,
You might also want to look at the Strict Date discussion in Chapter 33 of the VFP documentation. The format used is {^yyyy-mm-dd}.
>Jim could you tell me where you discussed at length the use of setting a date using the braces {}. I know I have read it somewhere, but for the life of me I cant remember where you discussed it. Was it a book or FoxTalk? I know you when over the rules on when it was interpreted or set and how it releates to Y2k. Any help would be appreciated.
