    What keyboard key strokes you need to tap to set it correctly?

    Are you using code based script or KeywordTests script?

    How are you doing it programmatically? provide the example. From the documentation link I provided, the listed example to press the keyboard escape key is

    onscreenObj.Keys("[Esc]");

Hello Bill_H.

I would also log the properties of the object after the the enter, tab etc.  I have seen apps do very odd things with .keys verses setText and weird things related to object focus.

Another things to try is to record a script and perform the action manually.  If this works you should have a script example that works and you can fine tune and analyze actions from there.

Hi there thanks for the suggestion - I actually did record the action and it used the methods I was. It does eventually pass a date but not the right date ... the field has type ahead and a date picker associated with it.  

The issue I have is that when the 'right' date is set in the field and then I move out and click another setting and save the 'right' date doesn't seem to be committed so it is saved without the date. If I set the date then click out of it, in some cases, the date gets reset to today's date ( I am trying to pass yesterday's date) then I can save that. 

I am flummoxed.
