Date Formatting

[syounker]

The date fields in my database are requiring me to input dates in the interational format. When I enter a date like 12/23/2004 FMP says the date is not in the right format and should look like 23/12/2004. My operating system is set to use the U.S. format for dates and my date fields are formatted to display dates in the U.S. format. Is there another preference that I'm missing for date input?

I found it. Under the Format menu there is an option that says "Use System Formats". Once I selected this everything works as it should. My system is set to English and the database was originally created on my machine. Gremlins....
