Dmitry,

There was a cool way of handling this for Y2K issues in Fox2.6 using ON READERROR, this will still work fine to get around the internal date validation. It's a bit mucky as you will need to call a funciton or reference the form using _Screen.ActiveForm etc. Obviously the resulting value needs to be the correct format.

i.e. in the WHEN of the control you can use

ON READERROR <insert validation call here>

Then just reset the ON READERROR when leaving the control (VALID, LOSTFOCUS etc.)

For more info it was an old Fox Advisor article by Christof Lange around 1999? I think.
