Working with data in date fields
• Enter the date in the system format used when the file was created.
• If enabled, use the drop-down calendar to select a date. Use the month and year controls to locate the desired date and then select it to close the calendar. The date is inserted using the current date format. For more information, see Setting up a field to display a drop-down calendar.Note If you don't type a year in a date field and you haven't typed a separator character for a year, FileMaker Pro enters the current year. If you enter dates with two-digit years, such as 5/12/14, FileMaker Pro converts them to four-digit years, as described in Conversion of dates with two-digit years.
