In all programs that I can control the date format, I use the full spelling of the month, i.e. 1 December 2013.
This way, there is NO question by anyone what date I am using, and I know what date I am entering.

You can then check how Legacy translates it on screen. That is how I do it at least...

If he types in 1/12/2013, does that get interpreted as 1 December 2013 or as 12 January 2013. Legacy 7 had an option to specify how you wanted it interpreted. Legacy 8 does not have the option to specify. As I understand it from other postings, in Legacy 8, the interpretation is determined by a setting at the Windows operating system level.
