Unless you're using strange spelling, it's more likely to do with the order and format of the numbers. Mm-dd-yy, mm-dd-yyyy, yy-mm-dd, yyyy-mm-dd, dd-mm-yyyy, mm/dd/yy, mm/dd/yyyy etc, etc. Programs get confused whenever there are unorthodox formats, symbols, or spelling (if you're entering it with the month names).

When the program reads the date, it formats it, for example by making sure the month begins with capital letter. If it cannot read it the date remains as entered and the program does not know how to use it. Try entering the month with small letters, and see if Legacy works with it.
