Dates Fields

Top  Previous  Next

 

Date Fields are entered in Date/Month/Year format, by using either the '/' or '.' characters as separators.

 

Empty date fields normally show as "   /   /   ".

 

The date will be automatically formatted for you when leaving the field (Eg. Typing "27.9.5" will format automatically to "27/09/2005").

 

There are a few shortcut keys you can use when filling in a date field.
