Robert,
At the very beginning of your clipper program put in the following command:
set century on
All you Y2K problems will go away. The default is "set century off" and in this mode all your 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, etc. dates are being stored as 1900, 1901, 1902 1903, etc. This is because only the last two numbers of the year are being entered and the program assumes the first two digits of the year to be 19.
With "set century on" the complete 4 digit year is stored. even date math works great.
If your clipper program is working and it is large, you are looking at hundreds of hours to convert. I know as I am just finishing converting a clipper accounting system that I wrote 10 years ago to VFP and have been on it for several months.
Good luck
Bruce
