Date input - Filemaker 11

Show all headers | View raw

I've done some searching but to no avail.....hope someone can help.

I've been running a basic accounts package I developed a very long time 
ago. I can't remember which version of Filemaker I first used but, with 
all the upgrades over the years it has continued to work for me with the 
odd adjustment here and there.

Ever since the most recent upgrade to Filemaker 11 I have been faced 
with an annoying problem. Whereas I used to be able to input into a date 
field the numerals dd/mm and the "yy" part would automatically place in 
the year we're in (ie "11" right now)......NOW I have to complete the 
date totally.....ie dd/mm/yy otherwise the date is rejected as not being 
compliant with requirements.

This is SO annoying and time wasting. But I just cannot work out how to 
shortcut this back to how it was for the last 20 years!!!

Please help me somebody???

Thanks.

Jim
