Express Accounts v 11.1 - Missing Calendar

In January 2025, I upgraded from v5.24 to 11.10 and found the following :

1) When processing Invoices, the CALENDAR DATE window from where the correct date is selected, has disappeared

and is no longer available??.

2) When the date has to be corrected, you have to individually hover over the incorrect year, month and date to manually click the ":UP" or "DOWN" arrow to correct the date. Apart from up to 30 clicks on the Invoice date and some on the payment date, it now also AUTOMATICALLY changes the payment term days on the Customer Profile?

This is causing additional time and frustration when invoices are processed.

Please advise if you have a possible solution. This issue also relates to pages other than invoices.

NCH Express Accounts version 11.1 appears to have changed its date selection interface from older versions like 5.24, removing the pop-up calendar picker you used for invoices.

Date Picker Changes

The calendar window was likely replaced by manual up/down arrows for year, month, and day fields to streamline the UI, though this increases clicks (up to 30 per field as you noted). No official patch restores the old picker in v11.1 release notes; it's a deliberate redesign seen in upgrade changelogs.

Payment Terms Behavior

Editing invoice or payment dates now auto-adjusts customer profile payment term days to reflect the new due date calculation, preventing inconsistencies across records. This links transaction dates directly to profile defaults, a feature added post-v5 for better automation.

Workarounds

Type dates directly in MM/DD/YYYY format to skip arrows entirely.
Check NCH support forums or contact their team via the software's help menu for UI customization options or beta restores.
Revert to v5.24 backup if compatible, but test data import first.
Find older versions here. Ignore any virus warnings. Allow download and installation.

Hi Borate -Thank you for effort and assistance. The unfortunate truth is that when the date is to be changed, the MM / DD / YEAR has to be individually selected and changed by clicking on the up and down arrows. To again Downgrade will involve many hours of effort and the possibility of running into problems is not feasible. As suggested the issue was referred to NCH. Kind regards Stevie Mcgee.
