Hello everybody,

I am using datagrid control with two date fields. I have set the date format to italian (dd-mm-yyyy). When I run the forn within foxpro it works as desired. that eans the dates in grid and reports generated are in desired format.

But

when I build the exe and execute it standalone, the dates in datagrid and in reports are displayed in american format (mm/dd/yyyy), but in textbox controls the dates are shown in italian format. I want to display the dates in italian format in all the cases when i execute the exe standalone.

can anybody help me

thanks in advance.

SET DATE ITALIAN

If your forms have a private data session, you will need to set this in the form's Load() because SET DATE is scoped to the current data session.

You may want to create an environment setting object that you can add to your base form class in its Load and then you no longer have to thing about it.
