A desugn decision i made to simplify things for users, especially those from

Text is for 'long' strings....fields are (well, supposed to anyway) be able
to be used for summing, totalling etc aswell

Yes, this is a limitation in the version you are using...if you look through
the code, you will find something like:
//TODO more date formats ;)

If you are feeling adventurous, then im working on a new version for Kexi2.
It currently supports javascript embedded in 'field controls' so that you
can do calculations...you should also be able to manipulate the format of
dates/times
