This is puzzling.

I have two date Global date fields:

g.start

g.end

Sometimes, while manipulating the 'calendar' in g.start I get this:

[color:red]"The value of this field must be a valid date in the range of 1 to 4000 and should look like "12/25/2003"

1) It only happens on g.start

2) It is happening while I manipulate the calendar so how can FM NOT like what I select?

3) I can't 'make' it do it. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. It happens about 20% of the time.

Prrhaps you have a script trigger that is inserting something into that field or the existing value is being appended to?

No script trigger. No calculation. It is just a simple, global date field. And, the weird thing is that when the error box appears, the field is blank and I can not click into it. It is almost like there is a script running that locks the field. I guess my next step is to scour my scripts for references to that field.... thanks for writing.
