When I keyed in the date stamp, I did it by hand keying in all of the required characters myself since a couple of the dates are already in the past. Could that have prevented proper date incrementing? Could I get around this block by entering the first date stamp as and then trying shift-return from there on out to get the other needed dates in the log?
