Zlatko,

There is no patch from Microsoft. If you want to default to 2000 you would need to upgrade to Visual FoxPro 6.0.

Christof's code can also be called from a browse window. You can read about field-level WHEN and VALID in the BROWSE command docs.


>For some reasons I have to build an application in FOXPRO 2.6 for DOS. No big deal, but there's a problem with dates, because user doesn't like typing a 4-digit year all the time, because there will be only the dates after the January 1st 2000. The problem is that FoxPro 2.6 with SET CENTURY OFF always set the century to the 19XX and I'd like to change it to the 20XX. I've seen the Christof's Lange solution with the rollover simulation, but it means that we have to put on every date field within all the screens calls to the Y2K program for the valid, when and message event. Browsing in a command window or just a simple browse in the program code is also forbidden in the next century?
>However, isn't there any patch from Microsoft to make a default century to the 2000?
