>I have a vcx that has worked and still works in VFP 5 for a long time. However when I try to open the VCX in VFP 6 to migrate forward I get the error "Date/datetime contains illegal characters." We already tried emptying all compiled code in the OBJCode field for all records. Tried a pack in Class Browser.

Try changing your STRICTDATE setting.
SET STRICTDATE TO 0
This will allow you to open your class and fix the problem.
