Answer: Several data entry fields include special formatting as date
fields. When the cursor is in a date field, click the down arrow to
display a calendar. Choose dates from the calendar avoid date format
errors.
Date format is set in general options editor (Tools, Options,
General). When ARM advises an incorrect date has been entered, it also
displays the correct date format. For example, the date format set in
the general options is MM-DD-YY. However, you typed a date as Jul 4 01.
As soon as you leave the data entry field, ARM displays a message,
"Invalid Date Jul 4 01. Enter date formatted as MM-DD-YY."
ARM Tip: Enter the current date in any date field by pressing the
spacebar. This also shows the current date format setting. |
