>>As you'll see, VFP is fully Y2K compliant, as long as set century is used properly. I've posted an example that also makes entering only two digit years use the proper century. The message was posted on Saturday, and the code refined after some feedback.

>Yes, we're fully Y2K compliant on current vfp dates. I guess the gist of the article is that vfp6 dates will actually store the entire century, so that ROLLOVER will not be necessary...but my dates already appear to do this, that's what confuses me...perhaps they're confusing vfp and pre-vfp dates?

Fox has ALWAYS stored the century in the date. The Y2K problem arises on data entry of dates. Regardless of the setting of CENTURY, entering {01/01/01} on a data entry screen will store 19010101, even if system date is set to the 21st century. This is unfortunately true for Fox up through VFP 3.

This may be what the article is referring to.
