When using the Import Data utility with Import Format Type: "DataEase 5.x - 8.x" the date field values are lost.
if the original data is exported as Variable length text delimited format the date values import works.

Anyone know how to get round this issue other than using the delimited text option?

Same issue found on DE 7 and LegEasy 9  (was not an issue before on DE6 & earlier)
