Language Problems

[bodylojohn]

Hi Everybody..

Another big problem from me..

My language is set to english.
So when I enter a date it looks like 31-12-05

Other users of my program use german.
So there dates look like 31.12.05

I convert my dates to string.
So its important the dates look like 31-12-05

HELP ME please

Remember that the date is stored as a number without any formatting and you can apply the format whenever you need to. If you really want to convert the date to a string, you can use Day() Month() and Year() to extract these bits and build your string, e.g.
Day(MyDate)&"-"&Month(MyDate)&"-"&Year(MyDate)

I would also say to have your format set to long dates in the forms, then when the date is typed in it will show it in full.
you can still type it in with the short version but it will display the full date.
