MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
In the Command window, type following commands:
SET DATE to Taiwan SET CENTURY OFF *** Note : Year 2000 is equivalent to Taiwan Year 0089 ? {^2000-01-01}
"89/01/01" displays on the FoxPro desktop (or in the active window).
- Place the same setting within a text box of a form and set the "Readonly" property to .F. The result is "0089/01/01."
- Add a TextBox control within a form.
- Change the property "Century" of the TextBox to "0 - Off."
- Change the property "DateFormat" to "8 - Taiwan."
- Change the "value" of the TextBox to {^2000-01-01}, which is January 1, 2000, and run the form.
NOTE: The display of the TextBox will be "0089/01/01." The TextBox value, however, is "89/01/01."
