 * width="100%"|

ID: Q124948

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.6, 2.6a

SYMPTOMS
If FoxPro determines that the system date on the computer is incorrect, it displays a WAIT WINDOW with the following text:

The system date on your computer is inaccurate. Please reset it. Pressing any key causes FoxPro to return to the Command window. You will not be able to run any wizards until the date has been correctly set.

WORKAROUND
Reset the date to the current day and date using the Windows Control Panel program.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
1. Double-click the Windows Control Panel program,, located in the Main

Program Group. 2. Double-click the Date/Time icon, then set the Date to a year several years in the past. 3. Start FoxPro and attempt to run a Wizard. NOTE: This problem occurs with dates greater than or equal to 1980.
