I have an unusual problem with setting the value of three menu option buttons. In the preOpenStack, I have a script which sets the value of three menu option buttons, optionMenu (system date for the year), optionMenu2 (system date for the month) and optionMenu3 (system date for the day) when the first screen is presented to the user.

I have three other option menu buttons, optionMenu4 (the numerical year that the user chooses), optionMenu5 (the numerical month the user chooses) and optionMenu6 (the numerical day the user chooses). These are subtracted from the first three optionMenu buttons. However, when the user selects a date using the optionMenu4, optionMenu5 and optionMenu6 and does not select the system date, that is use the current date, the age for the year and day result in negative numbers for year, which is the year entered and the month entered, respectively.

I don't understand why the optionMenu, optionMenu2 and optionMenu3 are not "initialized" despite showing the system date as numerical year, month and day. By the way I have another script that is triggered to compute the age when the user chooses the day of the birth date that is handled by sending a mouseUp message to another button that takes the numbers from the option menus and does the calculation.

Here is the preOpenStack script:

local tdate
  put the short date into tDate
  convert tDate from short date to dateItems
select line lineOffset(item 1 of tDate, btn "optionmenu") of btn "optionmenu"
  set the menuhistory of btn "optionmenu2" to item 2 of tDate
  set the menuhistory of btn "optionmenu3"to item 3 of tDate

The only times that the age is computed correctly is if the user selects a diffferent date using the first three option menu buttons.

Any help that I can get would be greatly appreciated!
