The source is a municipal database, I believe. This document indicates dBase has supported the Date format at least since its writing in 2001: http://www.dbase.com/knowledgebase/int/dateobject/dateobject.htm
In addition, performing the same routine with ArcMap leaves the Date field intact.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
What is your original datatsource? the shapefile do not have a "date" datatype.
