DATE-FLD

Any field showing the DATEBOX date button must be in date format, i.e. mm/dd/yy, mm/dd/yyyy. The program will insert the slashes, all you need to do is enter the month, day and year. The date format is determined by Windows and will display per that setup.

Clicking on the DATEBOX date button will bring up a calendar from which you can choose a date.

In addition, the following keys can be used to enter or change the date:

 

T

Today's date

+

Increases day by one

Decreases day by one

S

Start of month

E

End of month

L

Last month

M

Next month

Y

Next year

P

Previous year

 

Pressing S when the date is already at the start of the month will change the date to the start of the previous month.

Pressing E when the date is already the end of the month will change the date to the end of the previous month.

Holding the key down will cause the date to increment (decrement) per the key’s function.
