Mary, Those picture dates are stored in tblBR.PicDate.
Thanks to your Heads Up I noticed when it happened to me yesterday. I had recently read your original post and was attaching some gravestone pictures to burial events. I found one in Picture Gallery attached to an Individual. I cut (from Individual) and pasted it to Burial (using Mouse). Since the date was blank and I knew the date my brother took the picture I right clicked to the left of Date to bring up the MRU (Most Recently Used Dates). To my surprise the MRU would not come up. I typed in 8/2/2011 and clicked on description expecting it to display 2 Aug 2011 but it did not change. Next I went to his wife's Picture Gallery and typed in 8/2/2011 which did change to 2 Aug 2011 when I clicked out. The MRU also came up OK. When I went back to the husband's Picture Gallery the date 8/2/2011 had changed to 2 Aug 2011. I dated over 20 headstone pictures and only once it didn;t format as a date and then it was temporary. I display dates like you do (example 3 April 1881) but enter mm/dd/yyyy. Now I look in tblBR.PicDate and all dates I entered as 8/2/2011 are shown there as 2 Aug 2011 but many dates are still as entered 2007-10-22 or 12/21/2005. I don't have Access on this computer (just ltools). Access may be able to reformat that field to date format to make them all standard dates. Dennis!
