Hi Lennox.
When you use the LongDate format, you get the date formatted
according to the settings of the user's computer OS, according to the
LR:
"Reports the date in the user’s long date format as a string
based on the user’s locale and formatting even if the
user’s locale is a Unicode-only locale. Example (US format):
Wednesday, December 31, 1997."
So, it seems to me, you should be prepared to accept as input any
valid formatting the user can select.

p.s. I think RB closing this list is really unfortunate.

Hello,
I have an app that was built with RB2005R2 (MAC PowerPC), I used
longdates a lot and when I saved my files the dates were saved in
the format Tuesday, August 12, 1980.
When I opened my files I would use ParseDate to verify the date and
I had no problems.
Now I have built my app in RB2007R1 and I am getting an error
opening my files, apparently RB2007R1 is expecting the dates in the
format Tuesday, 12 August 1980.
How do I get around that?
Thanks.
Lennox.
