Error Message - Use System Formats

Hi guys,

for the life of me I can't get the above error message appearing each time you need to open my database.

It originated from USA so naturally the system formatting was mm/dd/yyyy - not compatible with my system. I am SICK to death of this message appearing when I open up the database (and so are my users) asking whether to use system formats or current etc etc. so far to try and fix the problem i have:

removed all date fields (i didn't need them anyway)

in my opening script - [set user system formats] = "ON"

Format, Use system formats

and I am STILL getting the message... confused.gif any ideas?

Save a clone of the database. The clone will use your system formats.
