Bad Date Placeholder

[Alberto]

Hi,
Why am I getting a dd6mmdyyyy as dates placeholders?
See attached image
Thanks

no idea - can you duplicate in an example?

Bruce,

I was having the same problem.  What I found was on the Client Side tab (see attached image), near the bottom, there is a message "This bit is deprecated. Move to Resets list above". Once I deleted the date field and then added it back, this message went away but the problem was still there.  So after I changed my date picture from '@d02b' to @d17b', it did not display 'mm2dd2yyyy'.  

HTH...

Bruce,

If I have the date picture as '@d17b', in the comment column, it displays 'mm/dd/yy'. But if I remove the date picture, then it displays 'mm/dd/yyyy'.  So if I want to have the entry of the date as 'mm/dd/yyyy', it appears you can leave the picture field blank on the Settings tab.

Bruce,

I spoke to soon, after removing the date picture on the Settings tab, the 'mm2dd2yyyy' reappears on the date field.  So I guess you need a date picture and/or there is an issue with NT5 ver PR31.

use a date picture from @d1 to @d16.
D17 and d18 are not supported.
mm/dd/yyyy is @d1

cheers

Hi Bruce,

If you use @d1 as the date picture, it shows mm1dd1yy in the entry field.  If you use @d6, it shows dd6mm6yyyy.  It appears it is using the last digit of the date picture in place of the '/'.

Yes, this is the pb, try using @D1 (uppercase) , it fixs it.
