Problem entering CurrentDate in field on Window

I'm trying to enter the currentdate into a field on a window. The field is actually some sort of date/calendar control, as you can use the up and down arrow keys to change the date. When I added Send> CurrentDate to the script, it just stops and beeps, but won't populate the field with the currentdate.
Any suggestions?

Send> CurrentDate

will not work.

Send> only sends keystroke characters, so this is the same as typing in the word CurrentDate where ever the cursor happens to be.

This will work if CurrentDate is actually a variable that was made from GetDate>, like this:

GetDate>CurrentDate
Send>%CurrentDate%

Be sure that the cursor is in a field that can accept the value of %CurrentDate%. Also, the date entered will be in the format as defined by your System.

Is possible to edit that field manualy?
Could you select (mark) the default entry (which I guess is the current day)?
Could you select that specific date/field doing an increment entry?
Which date format is used in that field (YYYY/MM/DD; DD.MM.YYYY; MM/DD/YY, ...)
