Example:

Here's an example of a date field where we've entered mb1 (it's not case sensitive!) for the month beginning date in January.

Date Entry field:

Press Enter and the date field becomes:

dd/mm is accepted. The current year is assumed.
9999 is treated as dd/mm.
999999 is treated as dd/mm/yy, 99999999 as dd/mm/yyyy.
ddMMM, dd.MMM. or dd/MMM (where MMM is a standard month abbreviation or month name) is accepted.
Separators can be . / - or space.
Invalid dates are assumed to be Today.
Depending on context, the date you enter may be transformed into an equivalent Month End date.
There is also a DateTime control, which has an hh:mn:ss format for data entry into a separate field, using colon as a separator.
