The display format is 12-29-06. How do I enter the date in a mass update to get the proper date in the date counted field?

Thanks - I kept trying various formats without the quotes and that produced strange dates.
With the quotes it works fine.

The quotes are necessary so that Sesame knows that you are not trying to divide 2006 by 12 by 29.
