Date/Time Properties

Date/Time fields store a calendar date or time of day. These types of fields are often grouped together.

• To manually enter a date, type the date in the the mm/dd/year format.
• Use the Calendar and Clock buttons to select the date or time from a pop-up widget.

• To automatically enter the current date, select inside the field and press the space bar. The system supplies the current date/time.
