I want to address your issue of Warning message will not close.
If you see something like this in the future, one step to try before you terminate program in task manager is the enter alt-Tab. Some error conditions open an error message that is hidden "behind" the Legacy window and needs to be brought to the front.

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 "/".
