I thought there was a DateSeparator global as welll. Either way this should
work better.
if pos('yyyy',ShortDateFormat)=0 then
Insert('yy',ShortDateFormat,pos('yy',ShortDateFormat));
DO you have to check for 'yyy' since a helpful box in the regional settings said it's
valid...
Haven't tried to see what an 'abbreviated' year looks like...
the above should probably be.
if (pos('yyyy',ShortDateFormat)=0) and
(pos('yyy',ShortDateFormat)=0) and
(pos('yy',ShortDateFormat)>0) then
Insert('yy',ShortDateFormat,pos('yy',ShortDateFormat));
