It's a system edit, so you can't change it.  You can, however, force it back 
to a slash by adding a zero to the date.

As noted elsethread, if you write your own edit as a replacement, filePro 
will no longer treat is as a date-type field, and date math is no longer 
possible without some intermediate date field.
