Dear Cindy,
This is usually caused by the date format setting of Windows. Go to "Start-Control Panel-Regional Options" and change the "short date format" to e.g. dd-MM-yyyy. This should fix the date problem.
Good luck!

Subject: <RefMan> Date problem
Wondering if anyone has an answer to this. Came in this morning and all of the publication date fields are "corrupted", i.e. there is no a valid date in the field, just numbers like 05 or 1939. Doesn't matter if the publication is a journal, newspaper article, or electronic citation type
- all dates.
When I try to enter a date - it will only accept 5 digits - no slashes - otherwise you get an Invalid Date error message.
I can go to a back-up tape to retrieve the info but will lose a day's work.
Has anyone had this happen to them and if so, what is the cause and cure?
