<p class=MsoNormal>I thought you have to set the date for the database each
time you open<br>
it no matter what. I always use yyyy-mm-dd. But no matter the<br>
platform, the date always reverts to something else. This is the case<br>
in vstudio and outside of vstudio (ie. realbasic or perhaps runrev). I<br>
don't think this is a bug as I am pretty sure I recall Ruslan stating<br>
that this was the intended behavior. I always run the following sql<br>
command on any database right after opening it and it always works for<br>
me:<br>
<br>
SET PROPERTY DateTimeFormat,DateSeparator,TimeSeparator OF DATABASE TO<br>
'kYMD','-',':';<br>
<br>
You may want to check out the wiki for more info but I think kMDY<br>
would give you the mm/dd/yy dates then set your date separator and<br>
that should work.<br>
