'12/30/1899' is a 'default' date in VFP. Do you use ttod or ttoc functions? They may show the 'default' date in some cases. As it is in VFP Help:
*-----------------
TTOD(tExpression)
Returns
Date
Arguments
tExpression
Specifies a date and time expression from which TTOD( ) returns a Date value. tExpression must evaluate to a valid DateTime. If tExpression contains only a time, Visual FoxPro adds the default date of 12/30/1899 to tExpression and returns this default date.
