European Date Format

[mattb]

I have a database with 5 or 6 date fields, all formatted as MM/DD/YYYY. Our client is HQ'd in Europe and so wants the dates to be DD/MM/YYYY.

I spent some time looking in the field options dialog boxes, but was unable to find anything. Is there a way to make FileMaker 7 do European dates?

Thanks,

Matt

Set your computer to do European dates. Make a clone of the file. Import data from original to clone. Clone should now show dates in European format.

Don't forget to set your computer to do US dates after you are done.

Under File -> File Options -> Text, you can select 'Always use current system setting'. I believe this should have the same effect.

If running v7 this is indeed true. Previous versions as you know have to go a roundabout way.

Indeed, and this thread is in the 7 forum.

Hey!!!

Sometimes people get confused! I know I do on a great number of occasions.

So, you going to take my order or not. I said I wanted a number 7,14 & 27 with a 47 on the side!!!!
