It will run, until the next time you start it--at which time it looks at
the date again.
Due to the difficulty of gaining control again of VFP after an
application has crashed in the development mode I restart quite often.
I am slowly training Intellesense to allow a more sophisticated method
of debugging.
So far the time bomb is indeed a pesky form of nag screen. I say to M$:
give me a time bomb patch or give me the Release Candidate. I am a M$
Solution Provider (Certified Partner) so I am entitled.

If you change the system clock to a date prior to Jan 31,2003, launch
VFP
8.0 beta and change the system clock back to the current date and time,
VFP
8.0 beta still works. I made a change to a VFP 8.0 beta project and
saved
it. Looked at the date and time on the file. It shows 2/1/2003 7:20AM.
I'm
using MDY date format for my system clock and my system clock is
constantly
getting updated by DatumTime Greenwich Electronic Time.

Five minutes ago my VFP 8.0 Beta gave a Time Bomb message and refused to
run. I immediately set my clock back a day and it started running
again. So perhaps, the famous VFP Beta time bomb is mainly just a form
of nag screen. Time will tell.
