>VFP will support dates to the year 9999. However, there is lots more about Y2K than this, and your level of compliance may vary. In the strictest of definitions, Y2K compliant all dates must display and print with all four digits of the year. You also need to check code for date literals. They could endup being compiled incorrectly.

Y2K can get real strict. I've had to trap for specifically 8 keystrokes when anyone enters or changes a date to guarantee that it was the user who entered the 4 digit year. Rollover had to be removed from this app.
