date format in drawing borders

[gScott]

i've figured out how to customise

the drawing border to my graphics,

but i have discovered that the

default date format in both the

'issue' + 'revision' functions is

the american mm/dd/yy format.

my OS is set up to the metric

yy/mm/dd + dates pulled into other

programmes reflect the OS format.

is there a way to tell the title block

which format to use? i've tried both

the parameters + strings sections of

the PIO but can't find a setting for

this.

gideon, I would consider this a bug. Do you mind reporting it?

[gScott]

update to this....

after fiddling with the winXP 'regional +

language options' control panel i find that

on the 'advanced' tab the 'language for non-

unicode programs' < default setting of 'english

(united states) > affects the VW date format

rather than the date settings under the normal

'regional options' tab.

setting this, in my case, to 'english

(south africa)' corrected the problem

described above.

it is odd that the default advanced tab

setting 'english(united states)' does

not affect the metric date display

elsewhere in winXP or in other

applications that read the date in.

Thanks Gideon, this has been bugging us for ages!
