Simple as it may seem,
set the MinDate to the date - 1 before you set the date.
You will also have a similar problem with the MaxDate and you need to set it
to a value greater than what you will need i.e. set it to date+1 before you
set the Date. The other catch is if the user sets it to an invalid value
outside the range you need to force the date into range in your exception
handler. Also make sure time is set to zero.
DatePicker.Time := 0;
DatePicker.MaxDate := now;
DatePicker.MinDate := now-365;
The other gottya is if your app is running 24 hours a day you may need to
set the MaxDate/MinDate on entry if you are trying to limit the user to
entering dates in a limited range (i.e. today and the last week)
