The options for dates (section > 5) only seem to deal with how dates are displayed, not how they are entered.
Guess what! I changed my Dates Displayed As option (5.1) from '21 Nov 1953' (my preferred format) to 21-11-1953 (possible confusion with US-style dates) ...and the reported problem goes away :-) I also tried swapping to a US-style format for displaying the dates and the problem comes back :-( This looks like a discrepancy between what is set up as the Users Locale and the display format. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
