Date Entry Format
Hi,

In the UK Births, Marriages and Deaths are recorded each quarter, this leads to having to record these events in the format "Jan-Mar 1867". This type of format is accepted quite well into Legacy, but fails to be translated into whichever SQLite database format used for dates, the resultant display just showing "0000", and then just the first month (i.e "Jan" in the above example). Is this a know issue, if so how should I be recording dates between a range of months.

Many thanks
Glen

Thanks for pointing out this shortcoming. We'll fix this in the next version.
