Just in case you want to return the name of the month in a specific language, I recommend you write your own function, so it works in all versions of VFP. The function is quite simple:

* Return name of month, in Spanish
FUNCTION NameOfMonth(tnMonth)
if vartype(tnMonth) = "D"
  tnMonth = month(tnMonth)
endif
do case
case tnMonth = 1
  return "Enero"
case tnMonth = 2
  return "Febrero"
...
endcase
ENDFUNC
