Greate to hear you are moving forward again.

Now for a little FYI follow-up...

You can perform arithmetic operations within SQL statements, including
division. To the SQL parser, without the quotation marks the date literal
10/20/1998 looks like 10 divided by 20 divided by 1,998 -- a value that
would be incompatible with a dBASE DATE column. But by enclosing the date
literal in quotations marks, you indicate to the SQL parser that this is
actually a date literal and not a calculation.
