- I am trying to create a date field with a custom date format of the
- kind mm/yy, as in 12/92. I go to the date format in the format menu,
- and create a custom date that looks like: month / year empty empty empty.
- But when I try to actually enter a date in that form, I get a dialog box
- that says
-
- "The date in this field must have a valid date in the range of
- years 1 to 3000, and should look like "12/31/92."
-
- Is this a FMP message, or a system message? The system date format
- does not allow a format of the form mm/yy. The day must always be
- present. Is this a FMP bug, or am I overlooking something?
-
- I've tried calling Claris Tech Support, but their line is *always* busy,
- at least when I've called.
