Shif,

Your data (dates) can be read in any format as long as it is confirm the
standards of the country settings.

The format you show now (unerstanding it is dd/MM/yyyy) is used in by
instance:
- complete Europe
- almost complete America except the USA and I thought by instance
Mexico and Puorto Rico
- almost complete Africa
- parts of Asia (western and nothern parts)

Therefore tell something more about that?

Actually, that format is not used all over Europe. Some countries (Sweden
for instance) uses the reverse order yyyy-MM-dd

Claes,

I am always glad to hear that, that format is called the ISO format, it was
used in all former communist countries after the last world war as well, I
don't know which still are usting that. That I wrote complete Europa is a
writting mistake, normally I write almost, because I don't know how some far
East European countries do it as well.

But I find it nice to hear that Sweden is one of those using ISO of course
the best format to represent a date.
