TimeStamp Control arrows dont work

Can someone look at my VI? I have two timestamp controls (StartDate and EndDate) that are formatted MM/DD/YYYY. The arrows on the left do not appear to work when I click on the arrows to change the date. I'd like for both of them to work. I've only been messing with StartDate TimeStamp control so far.

 

If anyone can give me some ideas where to start, that would be great. My VI & SubVIs are in Labview 2012 and are zipped below.

Perhaps you have to highlight one of the fields (MM, DD, YYYY) and then use the arrows?  I don't think it's smart enough to guess what you had in mind.  It might be incrementing/decrementing millisconds, for example, and it would LOOK like it's not doing anything...

Bill - your somewhat right. I created a VI and left the default parameters (hh:mm:ss AM/PM mm/dd/yyyy) as is and used the up and down arrows. It increased/decreased per second if I didn't highlight anything. If I highlighted the days, I was able to increase/decrease by one. Same for the month and year.

 

While not the functionality I was looking for, I know what can and cannot be done with this control.

Finding the root cause is the first step to solving it.  🙂
