Thanks, Fred. mm/dd/yyy and all formats except the three short month/year
combinations work perfectly. I tried each format with dates pre and post
1999 and todays date. I've gone to one of the other staff's computers (each
has it's own software rather than using a network version), and still get
exactly the same problem. My nurse practitioner really does want the short
version because patients frequently can't remember specific dates. Any
other ideas or suggestions?

Date formats work correctly in the 21st century. That's not your problem. I
suspect you have the wrong underlying date. Display your date in full using
mm/dd/yyyy, so you can make sure it's correct.

Date format mmm-yy changes entries to mmm-06 for any date after 1999, as does
month-yy and m-yy. All dates prior to 12/31/99 work correctly in these three
formats. All other date formats work correctly. Is a setting off
somewhere?
