What exactly are you trying to do with this? Do you want the earliest date for each cauktcid or the latest date or just any date at all? The way your query is constructed will return the latter in pre VFP8 while it will not run in VFP8 without setting ENGINEBEHAVIOR. For first or last date use MIN() or MAX() on regdate and it should work in VFP8 and return the correct date. The following works in VFP6. Unfortunately, I don't have VFP8 yet to test it.

*!* if you need the earliest regdate 
Select cauktcid, DTOC(MIN(regdate)) as datum from auktlogg group by 1 into cursor cTempAuktion 
*!*or 
Select cauktcid, MIN(DTOC(regdate)) as datum from auktlogg group by 1 into cursor cTempAuktion 

*!* if you need the latest regdate 
Select cauktcid, DTOC(MAX(regdate)) as datum from auktlogg group by 1 into cursor cTempAuktion 
*!* or 
Select cauktcid, MAX(DTOC(regdate)) as datum from auktlogg group by 1 into cursor cTempAuktion 

The second example of each would not necessarily provide correct results as it compares the value as a character string and not as a date. example: max("10/20/2000","01/01/2003) would return "10/20/2000", however this would suffice if you need just any date. This would be more like the original result in pre VFP8.
