I'm not sure I get some of what you've said.
Date Options are at Options - Customise - 5.
Is that where you set the date separator?
I assume you're not including the quotes.
I just entered "c 01/1954" without any problem and it converted to "cir Jan 1954"
cir is just an awful abbreviation as far as I'm concerned so you can see I don't use the c dates much as I haven't altered the display.
I have full date checking on. You turn it on again at 5.5
I entered "c01/1954" without the space between c and 01 and got a warning.
Note you don't need to use the separator when adding dates. A space is enough.
I wonder what settings we have different that gives you an error?

 I just switched to V8 today. I'm trying to enter the date "c 01/1954" and no matter what format I type it won't accept it. BUT the real problem is that date checking brings up the warning screen (I have checking turned on) but no matter what I do I cannot move past that warning window.
Deleting the date just produces the same warning, as does telling it to accept the date and ignore warnings, clicking the X to close it & turning date validation off. There is seemingly no way back from this?
In previous versions I could enter the date as "c 01/1954" or "c01/1954".
**I have date separator set to "/".
