I've read the documentation regarding the SET CENTURY stuff, but frankly I don't understand what to do with the SET CENTURY TO and ROLLOVER thing to accomplish this.

In addition to sergey's offer - check this
SET CENT ON
in the date textbox, set
FORMAT=RD
INPUTMASK=99/99/9999
For the year, if the use enters 01, VFP will show it as 2001! HTH tt
