>In VFP 6.0 SP5 when I type in textbox "12.12.0020" as a date (Date format is German) nothing happensbut when I recompiled my application with VFP 8.0 VFP raises error 2034 "Date/datetime evaluated to an invalid value.". I try to catch this error in class - no result. I try to put some code in VALID event-same result. My question is why that is happend, and how to catch this invalid input?

My guess is that it's a bug (VFP8). According to the help, Date(nYear,nMonth,nDay) should be valid for years from 100 to 9999, but in the command window try typing:

? Date(1600,12,31)

It errors out. Now type:

? Date(1601,12,31)

It's Ok.

Now, what is really weird, is this:

? Year(Date(1600,12,31))
1600
