That would be the quick solution, but it is not practical, it must remain a date field. This is a Y2K fix from an old FP2.6 (Dos) program. We want to keep strict date format (StrictDate=1) but for now we are going to set strictdate=0 so the search can be done.

By the way, was'nt it Bill Gates who said "if it compiles, ship it"?
