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?

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!
