Set Field problem

[Maria]

I created a report layout that allows someone to select dates from a drop down menus. There are 2 menus for the "From" date and 2 menus for the "To" date.

The first menu (Value List)of the "From" choice allows them to select 01/01/, 02/01/, 03/01/ etc., the second (Value List) allows them to select 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.

The first menu of the "To" list allows them to select 01/31/, 02/28, 03/31, etc and the second 2003, 2004, 2005.

I have a set field in a script that combines the 2 drop down choices to arrive at the "From" date and combines the other 2 for the "To" date. Everything is working correctly except for the month of November. Part of the script also combines the "From" date and the "To" date for a search so, for example, it inserts 03/01/2003...06/30/2003 into a date field and performs a find.

The script takes the user to a report layout that displys

From 03/01/2003

To 06/30/2003

Any month I select appears correctly in the report except if the From date is 11/01/2003. When selecting 11/01/2003 even the To date doesn't appear in the report. If I select 10/01/2003 and the same To date that hadn't appeared it now displays because the From date isn't 11/01/2003.

I can't get this to work. Why doesn't one value in a value list not appear correctly when the others do. Does it have something to do with it being the current month will 12/01/2003 not work next month.

I even changed the Value List to 111/01/2003 and I get the message its not valid do I want to modify the find, if I cancel the From field appears as

From 111/01/2003 so I know the script is working.

Any body have any ideas?

Hi, Maria ...

There is nothing inherently weird about the date 11/01/2003. I had no problem getting all date ranges to work in the attached demo.

I suspect there is a glitch in one of your value lists and/or in one of your calculations. Maybe there is an errant invisible character entered in the "from month" value list. Try re-entering the values and see if that helps.

I almost always discover that when something doesn't work as expected, I've made some kind of little error that trips up what I'm trying to do.

Good luck!

Also, make sure you didn't accidentally use the letter "O" instead of the digit "0".
