I occasionally use FoxPro 2.0. With SET CENTURY ON the program works
well in the 21st century environment. However, the LIST FILE command
displays a list of DBF files with their name, # of records, Last Update
and Size. The date of the Last Update does not go beyond 1999. If the
file was updated in 2005 the year shows as 1905. Any suggestions how to
fix this esthetic problem?

Cass,
Even VFP 5.0 has that problem - it wasn't "fixed" till VFP 6.0 SP3 if I remember correctly. The problem is that the standard .DBF header only includes the following:
* 1 - 3 Last update (YYMMDD)

Without the century info, the List/Display Structure code makes an assumption of 19 - later it got smarter by checking the file attributes!
