In Version 3 dates are saved internally in a numeric field consisting of a
day number, a month number and a year number. This allows for all the date
conversions needed by the UCC and is much more precise than a free format
date. It is highly likely that you still have a lot of free format dates in
Ver 2, which were not in the dd mmm yyyy format: example: 13 Oct 1999. Any
date NOT in this format will get imported to Ver 3 incorrectly.
