Changing Date Parameters

This is probably very basic, but please help as it's driving me mad.

I have setup a database with a auot entry (creation) Date field. I have formatted the date field to day/month/year. I have also set my system (date/time) parameters (MAC OSX) to the same format.

However, when I go to do a find in the Date field, I get the error message saying that I must enter the data as month/day/year.

Is there any possible way to change the stored date parameters to day/month/year so that my search entry will be accepted?

Thanks in advance.

Try saving your file as a clone and importing your data back into it. The clone should maintain your current system settings instead of those from the computer on which it was created.
