>>I'm not sure where Fox/MS came up with 1752, but Pope Gregory established the Gregorian calendar in 1582, replacing the Julian calendar. Skipped 10 days, to put the calendar back into synchronization with the sun. They had only 21 days in October 1582.

>I checked my Almanac last night -- you're right about 1582, but evidently the system did not get implemented until 1752 in most of Europe. At that point they skipped 12 days in September...

Well, you learn something new every day on the UT. Does VFP skip those 12 (or 10) days? Yes, I know I could check, but I'll leave it as "an excercise for the class" ;-)
