In v7.5 this was not an issue, there was a setting in the program. This setting is missing in v8 and your Legacy settings have to match the computer/regional setting.
It would be nice to have the v7.5 option back.

For my other lady the reset didn't work for her but changing her Windows settings to dashes to match Legacy did. It probably has to do with different computer configurations. I am not sure where you are located but the lady I was working with was in Australia.

I checked my regional settings and they are correct. I fixed my problem by doing a reset of the custom settings. After going through each page of the customized settings to reset to my desired configuration the problem did not return. It doesn't make any difference if I use a "-" or "/" they both work OK.

This apparently is the trigger. I had a lady with this exact problem yesterday and when we changed her regional settings to match Legacy the date errors went away.
