What version of IBO do you have? Here 4.2Ia and there are some problems.
Yes, it works when entering data (why my test of yesterday did not?),
but if you re-enter the field, da year is displayed with 4 digits
whatever displayformat you use, so the days (or months for USA/GB
locale) are lost.
Is it the same for you?
i.e.
03/04/02 then leave the control.
re-enter the control -> /04/2002

thanks
