The way mine works (I'm on an older version of IBO), if the user enters a 0,
the date defaults to (for today): 003/09/2009.

I find this behaviour very user friendly :) User has possibility to have
part of the field already filled with correct values.
I.e. my country date format is dd/mm/yy, so if I start typing the day, I've
already current month and year filled, and in my accounting program is a
good help.
If your user has to enter the full date in any case, it does not hurt
(values are just overwritten).
Am I missing something?
