What is the datatype of Settings.StartingDate? It looks like it is a char, not a datetime. What happens if you modify your assignment to this?

app.BackTestperiodDatePicker.Value=datetime(Settings.StartingDate);

If that doesn't fix the issue, what are the limits of your BackTestperiodDatePicker control?
