The main problem is that you probably have empty dates in the VFP table. What we do is set them all to the lowest range of smalldatetime which is 1/1/1900, and then we do a replace on any dates that are 1/1/1900 to null. Or, you could set them as null in your VFP table. We imported a 2.6 table so we did it with the above method.
