Date format problem
I have a financial application written in Australia for Australian
conditions. It has worked fine under Win 95 & Win 98. To select a reference date (eg 1 July 2004), you open the calendar to July 2004 & double click in the box labelled 1. Under Win XP, this references 7 January 2004. Clearly the system is getting confused between the dd/mm/yyyy & mm/dd/yyyy formats. But it has only become a problem with XP. In all other respects the application seems to work fine. I'm running the application in Win 95 compatibility mode, but this hasn't fixed the problem. Is there a setting I can access in Win XP that will fix this?

Date format problem
Dave,
Open Control Panel, Regional and Language Options.Select "English (United States)" from the list. This automatically changes the date format to "M/d/yyyy". UK format uses dd/MM/yyyy Or, click "Customize" Advanced. Set the date format accordingly. -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "Dave Gillingham" wrote in message ...
