Date format

[AccessShell]

Within the past few days (MS update happened), my dates are appearing different. I am running Ms Office Pro 2003 on Win 10 Home.
All dates that were mm/dd/yyyy are now appearing as m dd yy (without the underline). Is there a pace I can reset globally and make my preferred format the default?

This has also happened on all my Access programming.

Thanks

It sounds like you regional settings changed.
See here for how to update them: Change the Windows regional settings to modify the appearance of some data types

Joe4 you are correct. I wanted to change the display in the taskbar from m/dd/yy to ddd mm/dd/yyyy. The problem wass NOT at all related to the MS update. This caused all the other problems. I reset the display date back and ALL my Access and Visual Basic programs that use the date work correctly. No more crashing.

Thank you Joe4.

With all the different forums, I never remember which one request to mark thread as solved.!!!!!!

You are welcome.

There is nothing official here to close the threads. Just acknowledgement that you have a working solution is sufficient for us.
