Note that IBO provides some defaults of its own for date edit
masks and displays - and while these work OK with USA or
non-enhanced mask processing they are not optimal for the
combination of enhanced mask processing in non-USA.

I find an explicit edit mask of:
::EM::!99!/!99!/!9999;0;_;0

works very well. For two digit years (if you must) you can
probably modify this to:
::EM::!99!/!99!/!99;0;_;0

with some success. I set these by domain (you could use the
SqlType) in my apps to save bother.

The enhanced mask mode is sort of expected by the enh date
input processing - as this allows fairly intelligent guessing
of partial date inputs.

Please let me know if you can make do with explicit masks.
If not I will have to find some appropriate way to override
the IBO defaults in my TIB_DateTimeEnh control.
