I know I have seen this come up over the years, but I can't seen to find the fix for it.  What is happening is that on some dates the approval screen shows a start date of 1/1/1970.  If I change the date it shows up fine, but when I change it back to the original date it shows up as 1/1/1970 again.  Can someone let me know where the fix is or how to do it.

Thanks

Unix stores dates as the number of seconds since 1/1/1970. Any calculations done with a blank date with return 1/1/1970.

I have no idea why it is printing that out on the screen when no start date is specified. You'd probably have to make some sort of conditional to negate its printing if you didn't want it displayed on such occasions.

JFYI
