To import dates into FoxBASE+/MAC from a text file, the dates must be in year-month-day order and include the century. For example, 19920823 represents August 23, 1992.

If dates in the file are in month/day/year (08/23/92) format, modify the structure of the database to place the date into a character data field, ten characters long. Import the text file into the database, then modify the database structure and change the field to the date field type.
