Entering Dates
You enter dates by clicking in a date field and entering numbers in MM/DD/CCYY format. The application automatically formats the date for you by providing backslashes and basic validation. For example, you can only enter in a number from 1 to 12 for the month.
Also available is the use of Date Field Keywords. There are a number of common keywords available to you that allow you to enter a recent or nearing date quickly. One such keyword is “today.” By entering “today” in a date field, the application automatically sets the date to the current date.

Additionally, you can enter a keyword followed by a + or – and number of days you wish added or subtracted to the date. For example, if you wanted to set a date to be five days after the following Monday, you would enter “Monday+5” in the date field.

Once you locate and select the date you desire within the calendar, the calendar closes and updates the date for the field. View the Calendar Control topic for more information on this feature.
