Have you been able to open the file again?
Have you tried a Check/Repair?
Have you tried entering a similar date for another person?
Can you enter a similar date in the Sample file?
Can you turn off Option 5.5? If so, what happens then?

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.

- Hi Ian,
- 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?

- Ã 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 "/".
