Thanks all, I was really trying to avoid having to roll my own... but it looks like I'll have to. The display part isn't difficult, but I'm not looking forward to the entering dates part. 12 databases, numerous date fields...

Help! this is driving me nuts... I wish to display dates in dd/mm/yyyy format using custom web publishing. At present it refuses to do anything other than mm/dd/yyyy. (It displays correctly when viewing the database in Instant Web Publishing, and also when exporting the xml directly from FileMaker) I can see that the xml that is being sent to the cwp engine has "date-format="MM/dd/yyyy" " in the 'datasource' tag (see below), but no idea how to change it. Does anybody know??? ----------------------------- http://intraweb-dev/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=Goods_In&-lay=Plain&-findall <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE fmresultset PUBLIC "-//FMI//DTD fmresultset//EN" "/fmi/xml/fmresultset.dtd"> <fmresultset xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/xml/fmresultset" version="1.0"> <error code="0"></error> <product build="08/12/2004" name="FileMaker Web Publishing Engine" version="7.0v3"/> <datasource database="Goods_In" date-format="MM/dd/yyyy" layout="Plain" table="Goods_In" time-format="HH:mm:ss" timestamp-format="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss" total-count="1261"/> <metadata> <field-definition auto-enter="yes" global="no" max-repeat="1" name="DateEntered" not-empty="no" result="date" type="normal"/> ... ------------------------

This has also completely defeated me, did you ever find an answer?
