What exactly you want:
- to display datetime field in grid in strict date format
OR
- to allow users to enter datetime field in grid, but it requires strict date?
Mayne both?

In the first case you can use exoression in the ControlSource property of the column that will convert datetime field content into character string in the format you need *you can yse for this such functions as day(), month(), year(), ..., str() etc.)

In the scond case just use 'SET STRICTDATE 0' and allow users to enter dattimes in as comfortable way as VFP provides by default. If you want to provide your own formatting for datetime field, for grids it is not easy. You will need to handle a lot of functionality in the textbox in grid, do not bind text box to data, change Value property to be character by default, specify Format and InpurMask properties to pre-format user input, convert string from user input into datetime value in the interactivechange or valid event and save it into data field, finally, read value from field and put it in the textbox value.
