Due to the way dates are stored internally in Ver 3 as opposed to ver 2 has caused this problem. In Ver 2 the date was stored as pure text exactly the way it was entered. In Ver 3 a date is stored as numeric day, month and year numbers with conversion routines which allow calculations to be made. Thus for the date range searches a day and month only won't work.

I don't want to enter a full date. I want to enter a day-month and have the program return all events which have that day-month, that is, all years. As said, this works easily in v.2.
