Hi, can someone tell me how I change the settings in my Access 97 to
default to English dates rather than US dates?
I notice all my dates like 1/5/2007 is being treated as 5th Jan 2007
rather than 1 May 2007.

That is a Windows setting, not an Access setting. Further if you are talking
about how date literals are interpreted in code and queries, any time you use an
ambiguous format Access will *always* assume US format first unless that results
in an invalid date value. For those situations you are best served using a
non-ambiguous format like ISO yyyy-mm-dd.

thx. the windows setting which I have changed resolved them problem.
Not sure what you mean in the second part. Surely if you set the
windows settings to English dates Access will not treat dates as
English ones.
when I called dateadd("d", 1, dt). where dt is the date 1/5/2007. I
get 2/5/2007 returned. before I made this change I got 1/6/2007.
What cases does Access choose US?

As stated, when using literal date strings in queries or code.
UPDATE TableName
SET DateField = #1/9/2007#
Will result in that field being updated to January 9th 2007 regardless of
the regional settings in Windows. If you wanted September 1st you would
need to use a non-ambiguous format like...
#1-Sep-2007#
#2007-09-01#
#September 1, 2007#

Hi,
I created a short date field. The format is dd/mm/yyyy when displayed.
The input mask is set to 99/99/00;0 (default, I didn't type anything).
If I edit an existing date, say change 12/14/2007 to 12/15/2007, I get
an error "the value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask."
I have to delete the "20" in the year to get it accepted, and then it
puts the 20 right back. (I have the field set to required.)
I changed 99/99/00;0...

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...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
