When you first open a Patron Record for editing, the cursor will appear in the first fixed-length field, in this case the Expiration Date. You can use the tab key to move through the codes and values in the fixed-length fields.
When you reach the last fixed-length field, the cursor will move to the first variable-length field, and you can tab through the field labels and data.
You can also single-click in the code or value area of the field, if you prefer to type in a code. For example, click in the Patron Agency field and type in the correct value.
To display the wizard prompt for a field for editing, double-click on the label or name of the field. For example, choose a validated field such as Patron Message, and the wizard prompt displays a list of valid codes. Click on the code you wish to enter, and then choose OK.
For a non-validated field, such as Birth Date, you can either click on the field label to display the calendar, or you can key the date into the field directly.
In Millennium, dates are stored with a 4 digit year and the date prompt is hard-coded to be "20yr" for the year portion, e.g. "mo-dy-20yr" if you use U.S. date format. So there are two types of behavior depending on whether the date needed is after January 1, 2000, or whether it is before.
