In 7.1 you can set the focus as you mentioned with the property comman,
and you can then change the color if it would help show them focus.
It would be nice to have a property to drop down the calendar, but I do not believe there is one (yet).
So I would change the color on an Entry EEP and then change it
back on an Exit EEP. This would help show focus.
As for the 04 entry, there is a format setting for m/d/yy and one
for mm/dd/yy. I have not tried it, but perhaps the m/d/yy would
take care of that issue.

This has always bothered me. You ARE on the date picker, but there
is no focus showing anywhere so you don't know where you are. Only if
you type something can you tell that you're in the date picker. And if
you want to type the month for April, you have to type "04" rather than "4"
to see something happen. My client is confused by all this. Anyone have
a good means of showing where you are? Or am I missing a setting?
(This will be in 7.1)

When I tried a snippet of code similar to yours, the focus did indeed
go to the date picker. Although it does not readily show it. If I hit the tab
key, focus indeed went to the next field after the date picker indicating
that focus was set to it. However, are you wanting it to automatically open
the drop down window? Focus on the date picker does not automatically
open the calendar. I do not know of any property setting to open the
window, but perhaps there is one somewhere!
