 •
Check the date formatting applied to the field. See Specifying formats for date fields.

Make sure dates are entered into fields of type date. Choose File menu > Manage > Database, click the Fields tab, and check the field type of the field.
 •
Use field validation to prevent the wrong dates from being entered. For more information, see Defining field validation.

Dates could have been entered before field validation options were added to the file.
