Favored explanations for the presence of magnetic fields on CP stars and the presence of the solar tachocline below the convection zone both imply fossil magnetic fields in the radiative zones. The initial, convective evolution of magnetic fields in a proto-star is studied by numerical, global simulations. The computations are to be extended by a change of the convection zone depth on an evolutionary time-scale.
