Hello,

I was wondering someone could help find out why my dates are all screwy in
my databases.

Normally, when I enter a date I input it as 12/19/2007 using the Short Date
and Input mask for short date. However, when I open the database today, the
date field shows the dates as 2007/12/19 and the input maks is set up the
same way. I have no idea why it's like that because everyone else can view
the date normal and input it normal but on my computer it doesn't come out
that way. Does anyone know why it's like that? I don't remember messing
around with anything.

Thanks!!

Have the region settings on the machine changed? Check in control
panel since if it's PC-specific it's most likely something to do with
the locale settings.

Hope this helps,
