I'm not using quotes :) I enter the date the same way I have for years and get the error message/window. The real problem is that the warning window will NOT close no matter what I do. I had to terminate the program using task manager.
It would not even let me change the date! I tried entering just 1954 but it gave the same error message WITH the original date I entered back in the date field.
