Choosing a Date in the Calendar Window

You can use a calendar to enter a valid value in a date field.

1. Put your cursor in a date field.

2. Select [Ellipse] or [Ctrl, L] to display the Calendar window.

The date value that appears below the calendar is called the selected date, which is either the value already in the field, the default value of the field, or the current system date.

The arrows on the left change the month.

The arrows on the right change the year.

3. Click the date on the calendar that you want to select.

Note: Disabled buttons that show dimmed text represent invalid days, which cannot be chosen. Similarly, if a date field is display only, you can display the Calendar window for the field, but you cannot change the date shown on the calendar.

4. Click OK to accept the selected date and close the window.

5. Click Cancel if you want to close the window without choosing a date.
