I realize that this approach is not ideal, however the ease of this solution may outweigh the elegance given that it does achieve the end goal...filling in the current year. I liken it to a combo-box that is defaulted to the first entry...in most every case you are going to type right over it anyway, but that doesn't stop people from using it.

Where logical I do that, however in these cases they are entering dates out in the future or in the past. John W.

I don't understand this as I personally hate them, but... What they want is to have something like that but which "assumes current year", i.e. all they have to enter is the ddmm and the rest (the year) is filled in. Does anyone do this? Know how to do this?
