In versions prior to 5.0 you'll need to work around it yourself. One solution is to just SET CENTURY ON and leave it up to the user to enter all four digits. There's an article in the March 1998 issue of FoxPro Advisor magazine that outlines a good work-around that allows you to trap the date entry before the valid. This is particulary important for February 29th which is a valid date in 2000 but not 1900.

If you don't have a copy of the magazine you can order back issues at www.advisor.com


>Thankyou John, for the info. But I couldn't find any of this switch or feature in FoxPro 2.6 for Dos and Windows. Do you happen to know any other work around in there?
