date format problem

Hi
In an A2k database running on a LAN with Win98 PCs some of them store dates
in a weird format. They are all set for UK date format dd/mm/yyyy but some
seem to transpose the day and year so that 14 July 2004 will appear as
4/07/2014.
Has anyone seen this before? The PCs were recently upgraded from win95.
TIA

There are 3 cases where Access can misunderstand your dd/mm/yyyy format.

Details on how to prevent it in:

I've sometimes seen this happen when an invalid date is entered, eg 31 Sep
2004 might come out as 09/04/1931. Have you also checked the text boxes
for non-UK formatting?

Keith.

The date format we want to use is "dd/mm/yyyy".After reinstalling several times the db2 runtime client w/ different options, we found on a technical forum...

Hi, I am developing a project in which I am checking for records with overlapping start/end dates.

While there have been changes to the code in the meantime, I cannot...

Hello there, In my asp.net page using VB, I have a date text field in mm/dd/yyyy format. When a date is entered, I'd like to validate it to make sure the date is greater than or equal to the current date. If not, I'd like to display the error message to ValidationSummary. It seems to make sense to me to use CompareValidator but the problem is put the current date into CompareValidator. So, I created a hidden text field in my aspx. ...

I apologise if this post seems a little basic, but I am a newbie and have NO access knowledge. I have downloaded the Accounts Ledger from the Microsoft Website. It allows the user to review a report of transactions between a Start & End date. The Tables and forms i believe are UK format "dd/mm/yyyy", However, when I click on "Review Reports" and enter the date as UK "dd/mm/yyyy", it returns nothing.

On my machine in the office I change the computer setting to English (UK) so the date format is dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy for US. This problem happens in either Access or SQL Server. In the database I have a table with Date/time column. The database is located on a machine that is set to dd/mm/yyyy also. When I enter date 7/1/08 (as in January 7, 2008), it stores it in the database as 1/7/08 instead of 7/1/08. Why is it like that...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
