On/at date
Hello,
Can you explain to me the use of at/or for the word "date"?
For example,
The report was filed on the date indicated. ("at"?)
The interest rate on the examination date. ("at"?)
Is there a rule to go by regarding the use of at/on for the word "date"?
Thank you.

AnonymousIs there a rule to go by regarding the use of at/on for the word "date"?In your examples a "date" is one day, a 24-hour period of time. On is the usual preposition in such cases:

I met her on 4 July.
