As much as I dislike Quicken, I used their keystrokes for dates and added a couple of things.

>I took one of those directly from FoxTalk or FoxPro Advisor, one or the other. It might even have been Ed Leafe who wrote it, although I'm not sure about that. Users loved it. This was before graphical calendar controls but once you knew a few keystrokes it made date entry a lot easier.
