>>I don't know if you saw my response to this, but GOMONTH() may be relying on Zoeller's (or Zeller's) Congruence for its calculations. Since this would rely on the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar (I believe), it would explain this behavior. Apparently, it uses 1752 because that's when it was adopted here and in Great Britain. Originally it was introduced in 1582.

Neither do I.< s > I seem to recall this coming up before. Anyway, I strongly suspect that the exacts dates that'll be valid may be between the dates shown below. This is an excerpt from the documentation on SYS(1).

"You can get Visual FoxPro versions for any system date after September 14, 1752, and before December 31, 9999."
