And that, kids, is why we call it "The Y10K crisis..."

I looking forward to all the $$$$ I'm going to make when people call me in from retirement to fix all their old VFP programs before midnight 9999! Can we say "Gouging rates?"

"Gouging rates!"

Yup!

Now, you say it.

nb: Don't lose vfp install disk before then!

Is there any version of VFP that handles dates after 9999? There was an early -- the first? -- version of dBASE III Plus that handled dates with years up to 32767.
