I have an accounting program that under W95, followed the DD/MM/YYYY format,
but when I upgraded to ME it switched to MM/DD/YYYY.
I'm trying to figure out how to switch it back to the older format, to no
avail.
Every time I enter an invoice I have to enter the month and day, instead of
just the day, when I'm in the current month.
