 Allo!
 RB> Good evening, Gilles
 RB> Back on the 26th of October you were asking:

 RB>   \  the application you develop are?
 RB> Yes, thankfully FoxPro is ready for the next millenium.  In the
 It's what I assume until yesterday. I do some Y2K check on a flat
 file. Only the basic file with some date field and some index
 in that date field.
 I check what append when you enter 00/12/12 as the date. And
 FoxPro assume it's 1900/12/12, not 2000/12/12. And the result was
 a mix up of the index file, so I have to correct it. Lucky it's only
 a 500 records file, I don't lost anything.
 In conclusion I have to re-write ALL application already done.
 If FoxPro was really a true Y2K ready package, it's assume
 2000 when you write 00 in a 2 digits date field.
 I do the check in 2.6x DOS of FoxPro. Anyone can check if the
 same Y2K bug with the lastest version?
 Appreciate
