You should've posted these as separate questions. I'll try to answer the first.

I assume you meant the 1st Century. VFP won't take dates prior to 01/01/100.

I would pick a century far enough in the future...say 90 and make that your baseline for 0 AD and then set up a flag field to identify those date prior to 100 AD and make your 'rollover' century (for you application's purpose only) say, 30. That gives you 6000 years of 'BC' dates to use as well. Make your adjustments to any dates calculations as needed

Oh, I just thought of something, make sure the leap years match.
