>Fox sees 02/29/00 as 02/29/1900 and that is an invlaid date. there is nothing y >ou can do about this (except for the solution that will be published in FoxPr o >Advisor in the March issue and will become public domain after that from Chri st >of Lange). If you are using VFP 5.0 you can use SET CENTURY TO ... ROLLOVER .. >., But vesion fo fox prior to 5.0 have 19 hardcoded as teh century for any tw o >digit year. We'd better check for this '19' business. I think... and I have thought wrong. I thought that the century was taken from the current year (system date), so I tried to set it to 2000 and got set cent on ?{01.01.00} 01.01.1900 ....which is pretty stupid of Fox (I'm talking VFP 5.0). I couldn't believe they've hardcoded the century. So we'll really have to Set Century Rollover Beethoven...
