TestComplete shows field values, then blanks them out.

I recorded a test. There are 3 date fields on my first screen of our Legacy Quoting System (pictures attached). When I return to Run the recorded test, Field values for the date fields appear to be entered , but then are blanked out when TestComplete encounters the GET QUOTE button. I have tried entering the fields manually and selecting the date from the calendar icon. Both have the same results in TestComplete.

    What action are you using in TC to enter the date?  Is it Keys or SetText, or something else?

      Marsha_R - The Keys idea was an easy solution that made a big difference in my testing. Thanks!

      Set Text, But I just tried Keys and it worked. Thanks.

        You're welcome!  Keys emulates someone typing in the value.  I will use that most of the time and only switch to SetText (or something else) when Keys fails.
