Q.    Check the computers's internal battery it may be weak or dead.  The date 01/01/02 is the default date that a PC displays if the internal battery that keeps the date/time function running goes dead.   The fields that have the date 01/01/02 are fields that are populated with the VFP function DATE(), which picks the date up from the local computer that the application is running on. That's the only way we can get what we believe is the current date.
