Hello Dave!
Thanks for the suggestion. Oddly, the layout fits manually entered
start dates just fine. I tried extending the field box per your
suggestion just in case, but that didn't help. Also, the Start Date
remains as a "?" even in the Payments layouts in both the Names and
Payments files. Other payment start dates that were manually entered
appear fine in those layouts.
I'm puzzled and hope to fix this soon as I'm beginning to get lots of
payment data that needs to be entered quickly.
Any other suggestions out there?
