Fox2.6 date formats in VFP6

[mpgalvin]

Using FP2.6, I always used to

BROWSE FOR BETWEEN(T_DATE1, {8/3/2001}, {12/12/2002})

to find records between 2 dates. Now of course, when I use {8/3/2001} I get the old "Ambiguous date/datetime constant..." message. I really don't want to have to type in {^2001-03-08} every time I want to use a date constant, so is there any way around this, or has the Y2K 'bug' struck again

Go to tools, options, general tab and turn strict date checking off.

Personally, however I think this option should have been named 'Set Date Bugs On', but that is just my humble opinion.

:-D ta!

put the following instruction in your program.

Set Strictdate to 0. The setting is zero. If you have a project go into to project options and set strictdate to 0 and set to default.

I recompile about 500,000 lines of 2.6 code to v.6 everyday without errors.
