Your most basic data entry requirements for a date field are the month and the day with a separator in-between them. Using this method, FileMaker will assume that you are using the current year as defined by your system clock. You can also enter in dates with the day, month and 2 digit year or 4 digit year code. I've seen a few developers take it even farther and make separate fields for the day, month and year. Then they define the data entry options with pop-down menus and combine them together with a calculation field.
