The only solution I have found to this is to set Double Dating “on” and choose a future date like 1 Jan 2500. Once this is done, you can then manually enter the double date using the example below as 3 Jan 1721/1722, which will be displayed as 3 Jan 1721/22. Do not enter 3 Jan 1721/22 as this will display as 22-3 Jan 1720/21 – not what you want!
With double dating switched “off” double dates cannot be entered.

Geoff's suggestion was not to select double dating preference when you select options>customize. You entered your date as 3 Jan 1721/1722, instead enter 3 Jan 1721/22. That should do it.

As double dating (Gregorian calendar) started in Scotland in 1600 and in England and Ireland in 1752, I cannot set up my programme because I can only use one starting date (in Customise). If I set the starting date to 1752, my early Scottish records are incorrect, if I set it at 1600 my early English records are incorrect. If I turn double dating off and try to manually enter a date such as 3 Jan 1721/1722 in my English records, it is just recorded as 3 Jan 1722. Do I just turn double dating off and make a note in the source as the correct recorded date?
