That's what I'm saying. 2000 is a leap year, but 1900 was not. If you have SET CENTURY OFF and are using the valid method mentioned in this thread to change the century, then (at least in Fox 2.x, I haven't tried it in 3.0) you will get a FoxPro message "invalid date" BEFORE you ever get to your validation for the field.
