You're right Doug, but if you enter just a day it fills in the system month, not the login month i.e. System Date = 12/03/2013; Login Date: 11/29/2013 Order Date will show as 11/29/2013 (good) and expected ship date will be blank. Enter 25 in the order date and you get 11/25/2013; enter it in the expected ship date and you get 12/25/2013, so the expected ship date must be referencing the system date, not the login date as the other date fields do.
