>>>Not sure about 2.6 DOS and Windows because I don't have them but in FoxPro 2.5 DOS for a table updated today, 1/25/2000, LUPDATE() returns 1/25/1900.

>>I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Colin, but this has been a known issue for a long time. It affects FoxPro versions 2.x, 3.0, and 5.0. There is a patch for VFP 5.0 available from MS. There are workarounds for the other versions. See Article ID Q176481 in the MS knowledge base for more information. LUPDATE() works fine in VFP 6.0.

>That's ok, I've never used it, I've always used ADIR() as George mentions. Just got the info by word of mouth from another developer today and thought I'd post it. It may be a known issue but obviously not known by everyone.

Ahh...that explains it. I was wondering why you put up this post, since you've been around here just a shade longer than I< g >.
