I am not a developer but I need to understand if there is
a difference between controls for Date manual entry and
Date Picker.

example:

The date fields are heavily used fields and of these pages
being are considered for smart client, I am sure that the
end user would not react positively to using right and
left arrow keys to tab through sections of date fields.
If anything, the date format should read mm/dd/yyyy and
the user should be auto-tabbed through each section. For
example, when entering the date 01/01/04 the user should
be able to enter the '01' then automatically moved to the
day section to enter '01' then automatically moved to the
year section to enter either '04' or '2004' which ever
they choose.. The use of l/r arrows to move through
sections of a date field is archaic, it's 2004 surely we
can take the ease of f the end user rather than add more
key strokes.
