[] BK will accept and display in various formats. For example, I can enter ddmmyyyy, and it displays as dd Mmm yyyy - for example 140664 (I can also enter just 6 digits for a certain range) and it displays 14 Jun 1964. You can set what format, and even change and it'll translate, though any you've entered as non-standard won't. -- J. P. Gilliver.

I think the original question to the list was "How do I write month and year only?" I would answer that you can do exactly that. Simply type in as Mmm YYYY (e.g., Jun 1868) or whatever you have set up to convert to (e.g., Jun-1868). It seems that trying to use the shortcut of digital input for BK to convert just makes it more complicated in this case. Regards, Roy Marriott On 6/16/2015 6:31 PM, J. P.
