Change the predefined display of "Medium Date"

[Martyh]

Is there some way that I can change the way the predefined display of the format of "Medium Date" ?

The HELP doesn't HELP. It says: "appropriate for the language version of the host application." but the only reference to language is the Regional and Language Options" in the control panel. And there it changes only the short date and the long date formats.

Thanks for any help.

That's why they're 'predetermined' formats. If you want something different for display, format it yourself. If you wanted a date displayed as

25-December-2009

as opposed to

25-Dec-2009

in code you'd use

Format(Date,"dd-mmmm-yyyy")

or directly inm the Format box in the Properties Sheet simply

dd-mmmm-yyyy

Yes but they allow the short date and the long date formats to change... why not the medium date too.



Thanks for your reply.

You've obviously confused me with someone who works in Redmond, Washington!

Who knows why? My guess would be space; if yu include Medium Date, why not General Date and Short Time and Medium Time and Long time and... you get the idea.

As I said originally, format it as you like it! It's all stored the same anyway!

Gee Whiz! You mean you're not Bill Ga.... You sounded so authoritarian with "That's why ..." !

Alright, so then my only other choice would be to look-up every "Format" property and change it from Medium date to mmm.dd.yyyy (or what ever).

Is there an programmatic method that I could use to make sure I don't miss any of them? I got lots...
